Ranking of EU Countries by Installed Solar PV Capacity (2024)
To calculate Solar Capacity Per Capita for all 27 EU countries, we need to divide the installed solar PV capacity (GW) by the population (millions) of each country.
Solar power adoption across Europe on the rise during 2025 –
In the first half of 2025, Germany and many other European countries generated more solar power than ever before, according to a new report published by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar
Solar generation on the rise in Europe in first half of 2025
Many European countries generated record levels of solar power in the first half of 2025, according to figures presented by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE).
Net Public Electricity Generation in H1 2025: Solar Power on the Rise
In the first half of 2025, Germany and many other European countries generated more solar power than ever before. This was offset by lower electricity generation from wind energy.

Total EU-27 Solar PV capacity: a growth story
Already in the second half of 2023, when much of the previous year''s overhang was built, demand for rooftop solar was curbed in many countries, except where local subsidy programmes continued to
Renewable energy statistics
This article presents the results applying these accounting rules. The growth in electricity generated from renewable energy sources during the period 2014 to 2024 largely reflects an expansion in 2
Solar power by country
OverviewGlobal use figuresAfricaAsiaEuropeNorth AmericaOceaniaSouth America
Many countries and territories have installed significant solar power capacity into their electrical grids to supplement or provide an alternative to conventional energy sources. Solar power plants use one of two technologies: • Photovoltaic (PV) systems use solar panels, either on rooftops or in ground-mounted solar farms, converting sunlight directly into electric power.
