Los Angeles is top city for US solar use

Los Angeles ranks as the top city in the nation for solar power use for the second year in a row, according to an annual report from the the Environment America Research & Policy Center and its state affiliates. San Diego, Phoenix, Honolulu and San Jose, CA rounded out the top five cities with the most installed solar PV capacity. Honolulu topped the list of solar energy use per capita, followed by San Diego, San Jose, CA and Burlington, VT. All of the cities in the "Shining Cities 2019" report have added solar capacity. According to Environment America, of the 57 cities that have been profiled over six years, nearly 80% have doubled their solar capacity and one-third have more than quadrupled their capacity between 2013 and 2018.
