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.
See which countries have installed the most solar power, and which ones have the fastest annual growth rates over the last decade.
This dashboard ranks countries/areas to their renewable energy power capacity or electricity generation. The data can be further refined based on region, technology or year of interest.
