Due to the rise in solar energy acceptance across the country and problems caused by the California drought, solar power moved ahead of both wind and hydropower in terms of the percentage it represents in the state's overall energy usage.

The California Energy Commission reported that nearly 19 percent of the state's electricity stemmed from renewable energy sources in 2013.
