Solar photovoltaics in Europe - statistics & facts
The production volume of electricity from solar photovoltaic power in the European Union has been steadily increasing in the last years. In 2024, the EU's solar PV power production stood at over 296 terawatt-hours. In comparison, solar PV generation one year earlier was 248 terawatt hours, which indicates an increase in production of roughly 20 percent in just one year. In 2024, Germany was the country with the highest electricity generation from solar photovoltaics, amounting to more than 74 terawatt-hours. That is roughly one-fourth of the total generation in the European Union.
