In this article, with the help of charts and key statistical data, we reveal the latest solar power statistics that demonstrate how the industry has grown so far, and the outlook and potential for
All data and visualizations on Our World in Data rely on data sourced from one or several original data providers. Preparing this original data involves several processing steps.
We developed a new method to identify PV panels globally, producing an annual 20-meter resolution dataset for 2019–2022.
Estimated small scale solar photovoltaic generation and small scale solar photovoltaic capacity are based on data from Form EIA-861M, Form EIA-861 and from estimation methods described in the
Renewable energy statistics 2025 provides datasets on power-generation capacity for 2015-2024, actual power generation for 2015-2023 and renewable energy balances for over 150 countries and areas for
2024 ATB data for utility-scale solar photovoltaics (PV) are shown above, with a base year of 2022. The Base Year estimates rely on modeled capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operation and maintenance
These statistics showcase the current capabilities of solar technology, from panel efficiency rates and lifespan to emerging innovations in hybrid systems and energy storage,
Solar energy can be harnessed two primary ways: photovoltaics (PVs) are semiconductors that generate electricity directly from sunlight, while solar thermal technologies use sunlight to heat water for
