Renewable Capacity Highlights 2025

Solar, in line with the previous year, accounted for the largest share of the global total, with a capacity of 1 865 GW. Renewable hydropower1 and wind energy accounted for most of the remainder, with total

Global solar installations surge 64% in first half of 2025

Global solar installations are on track for another record year. In the first six months of 2025, the world added 380 GW of new solar capacity — 64% higher than during the same period in

Solar Market Insight Report – SEIA

Solar accounted for 58% of all new electricity-generating capacity added to the US grid through the third quarter of 2025, with more than 30 GW installed. Solar and storage, combined,

What Is Installed Solar Capacity and Why Does It Matter?

Installed solar capacity quantifies the maximum electrical power that all solar photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) systems combined can generate at any given moment.

Solar, battery storage to lead new U.S. generating capacity additions

In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year. We expect this trend will continue in 2025, with 32.5 GW of new utility

Solar power by country

The worldwide growth of photovoltaics is extremely dynamic and varies strongly by country. In April 2022, the total global solar power capacity reached 1 TW, increasing to 2 TW in 2024. The top

EIA: 99%+ of new US capacity in 2026 will be solar, wind + storage

Solar, wind, and batteries are set to supply virtually all net new US generating capacity in 2026, according to the latest EIA data.

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.
