The Open PV Project is a collaborative effort between government, industry, and the public that is compiling a comprehensive database of photovoltaic (PV) installation data for the United States. Data for the project are voluntarily contributed from a variety of sources including utilities, installers, and the general public. The data collected are actively maintained by the contributors and are always changing to provide an evolving, up-to-date snapshot of the US solar power market.
