The study focuses on the specifics of the implementation of solar energy in the regions of the world economic leader. The USA was taken as the object of the study in connection with the specifics of its  geographic-territorial and climatic-natural position. The conducted research was based on the approach of modelling the implementation of solar power generation, taking into account economic, technological and resource factors. The purpose of the study purpose of the article is to examine trends in the development and use of solar energy in the United States, taking into account management methods and efficiency improvements. It has been proven that the development of solar energy is carried out exclusively at the expense of private investment, the state support is minimal. Therefore, the power of installed solar power plants in relation to the volume of investments shows a high correlation. From the point of view of economic activity, solar energy is used by households in small amounts, on average in the USA at the level of 3.6%. Regionally, it is quite uneven from 24% to 0.2%. The greatest development of solar energy is provided in Hawaii and California. The conducted analysis allows us to indicate that at the moment solar energy does not determine priorities for business and is not a key branch of the US economy. Further development of solar energy is possible due to technological innovations that will contribute to increasing the efficiency of using solar radiation.
