4 FAQs about Solar power generation capacity ranking
How much solar power will the world produce in 2025?
In 2025, solar power is the cornerstone of the global energy transition, with photovoltaic (PV) systems generating over 2,000 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2024, or 6.9% of global electricity, per Ember's Global Electricity Review 2025. Doubling from 1 TW in 2022 to 2 TW in 2024, solar capacity is skyrocketing, led by the top solar power countries.
How much solar power does China have in 2024?
China's cumulative solar photovoltaic capacity reached 885.68 gigawatts at the end of 2024. In the last few years, solar power has become an increasingly important energy source around the world.
Which countries produce the most solar power?
Three of the top countries in terms of total capacity – Germany, Spain, and the UK – were also among the world leaders in percentage of domestic generation from wind and solar at 42.9%, 43.3%, and 35.5%, respectively.
