Solar power consists of photovoltaics (PV) and solar thermal energy in the European Union (EU). In 2010, the €2.6 billion European solar heating sectors consisted of small and medium-sized businesses, generated 17.3 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy, employed 33,500 workers, and created one new job for every 80 kW of added capacity.
As a result, 55.9 GW of new solar PV was installed across the 27 Member States, a 40% growth rate from 2022 levels, and, for the third year in a row, a new record (see Fig. 4 & 5). What is striking to note is that, for the third year in a row, the EU-27 annual market has grown by at least 40% year-on-year.
In terms of cumulative capacity, Germany with more than 24 GW, is the leading country in Europe, followed by Italy, with more than 12 GW. PV is now a significant part of Europe's electricity mix, producing 2% of the demand in the EU and roughly 4% of peak demand. PV roof-top system in Berlin, Germany.
Overview of solar PV developments According to the database of the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur, BNetzA), a total of 11.8 GW of solar PV has been put into operation in Germany by the end of October 2023.
