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.

Solar PV

Solar photovoltaics is one of the most cost-effective technologies for electricity generation and therefore its use is growing rapidly across the globe.
