Solar power by country
OverviewEuropeGlobal use figuresAfricaAsiaNorth AmericaOceaniaSouth America
European deployment of photovoltaics has increased considerably since the year 2010. Cumulative solar PV capacity in the European Union reached over 300 GW in 2024, with industry projections anticipating total capacity more than doubling by 2030, which would take solar power''s share in EU electricity generation (9.2% in 2023) over 20%. Outside of the EU, similar growth in solar power is taking place in the United Kingdo
