We rely on Ember as the primary source of electricity data. While the Energy Institute (EI) provides primary energy (not just electricity) consumption data and it provides a longer time-series (dating back to 1965) than Ember (which only dates back to 1990), EI does not provide data for all countries or for all sources of electricity (for example, only Ember provides
Yearly solar generation by continent [11] Solar generation by country, 2021 [11] The following table lists these data for each country: total generation from solar in terawatt-hours; percent of that country''s generation that was solar; total solar capacity in gigawatts at the end of the year; percent growth in solar capacity year-on-year; the solar capacity factor for that year, calculated
2050 MW Pavagada Solar Park, India''s second-largest in Pavagada, Karnataka. Solar power in India is an essential source of renewable energy and electricity generation in India.Since the early 2000s, India has increased its solar power significantly with the help of various government initiatives and rapid awareness about the importance of renewable energy and sustainability in
An increase in renewables drove this trend. Strong wind and solar growth was the main contributor to the fall in fossil power in the first half of the year. Solar generation grew by 20% (+23 TWh) and wind generation rose by 9.5% (+21 TWh) compared to the first six months of 2023. Combined, wind and solar grew 13% (+45 TWh). This meant that
In turn, this affects how much electricity your array receives and the amount your system generates. Typically, you get the most generation between 11 am and 4 pm. According to LG Energy, consumption throughout the year on the average 3kW system (based in Wollongong, NSW, for this example) looks a little like this:
3.1.1 PV power status. In recent years, the solar PV industry in China has grown rapidly, and its annual solar power generation is the largest in the world, with a growth leap of 100–300% [24, 25]. In 2016, the total PV installed capacity in China was 78,100 MW, with another 34,500 MW of PV capacity added in the same year.
Solar, wind, and other renewable technologies are growing quickly. They will hopefully account for a large share of electricity production in the future — but the countries that have a low-carbon electricity mix today have relied heavily on hydroelectric and nuclear power in recent years. We must learn from these country-level examples. In
Comparing PVOUT with average electricity tariffs reveals why grid parity for solar is seen across the countries, regardless of the actual potential. The relative differences in electricity tariffs can by far exceed the differences in practical PV potential (and LCOE). Therefore, PV generation can be profitable also in countries with some of the

This interactive chart shows the amount of energy generated from solar power each year. Solar generation at scale – compared to hydropower, for example – is a relatively modern renewable energy source but is growing quickly in many countries across the world.
Throughout the year, solar energy generation experiences marked variations due to the shifting angles and intensities of sunlight. Summer, characterized by longer daylight hours and a higher sun angle, naturally yields greater solar energy production. Conversely, shorter days and a lower sun angle in the winter months translate to diminished solar power output.
The potential for clean, carbon-free electricity generation from solar photovoltaic (PV) sources in most countries dwarfs their current electricity demand. Around 20% of the global population lives in 70 countries boasting excellent conditions for solar PV. High-potential countries tend to have low seasonality in solar PV output, meaning that
Solar is the fastest-growing source of electricity in the world, with China leading the way by installing 152% more solar capacity in 2023 compared to the previous year. This surge underscores solar''s pivotal role in the global clean energy revolution, with 34 economies now generating over 10% of their electricity from solar.
Ember analysed the latest monthly solar capacity data for 15 countries, accounting for 80% of solar installations in 2023. Capacity additions in these countries increased by 29% in January to July this year, compared to the same period last year. If this 29% growth rate continues until the end of this year, they will install 478 GW.
Note: Total generation data is shown through 2022 for the countries that have power generation data available through that year. For others, data is shown through 2021. More information on how the

Given the country's geographic location advantage and the high potential for generating electricity from solar energy, its generation capacity is expected to increase from the current 1.2% of the total 23 GW to at least 3.5% of the total 43 GW generating capacity by 2040.
The United States conducted much early research in photovoltaics and concentrated solar power and is among the top countries in the world in deploying the technology, being home to 4 of the 10 largest utility-scale photovoltaic power stations in the world as of 2017.
The midpoint estimate assumes that 85% of exported capacity results in installations, leading to an estimated 115 GW of solar capacity. Low and high estimates assume installation rates of 60% and 110%, respectively, resulting in a plausible range of 81-149 GW.
Solar PV accounted for nearly 3% of total electricity generation in 2016 along with an additional of 1.9% from solar thermal. Through a ministerial ruling in March 2004, the Spanish government removed economic barriers to the connection of renewable energy technologies to the electricity grid.
Spain deployed about 350 MW (+18%) of concentrated solar power (CSP) in 2013, and remains a worldwide leader of this technology. European countries still account for about 60 percent of worldwide deployed capacity of solar power in 2013. Austria had 421.7 MW of photovoltaics at the end of 2012, 234.5 MW of which was installed that year.
As of 2022, there are more than 40 countries around the world with a cumulative PV capacity of more than one gigawatt, including Canada, South Africa, Chile, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Austria, Argentina and the Philippines.
