4 FAQs about EU domestic solar panels

What role does residential solar play in Europe's solar market?

The residential segment plays an important role in Europe's solar market, accounting for roughly 24 percent of the European Union's cumulative solar capacity. Overall, Europe's residential solar installations have grown rapidly in the last few years, with capacity additions increasing from four gigawatts in 2019 to 18 gigawatts in 2023.

What's going on with the EU solar sector?

After years of stellar growth, the EU solar sector has been hit by a significant deployment slowdown – tumbling from 53% growth in 2023 to 4% in 2024, amounting to a 92% slowdown in solar growth over the last year. With 65.5 GW of new solar in 2024, the sector just inched past its 2023 record of 62.8 GW.

How many solar panels are installed in Europe in 2024?

In 2024, the European Union installed 65.5 GW of solar PV, marking the eighth consecutive year of record-breaking annual additions. However, the annual growth rate decelerated significantly to 4.4% compared to the robust 41-53% observed during 2021-2023.

How can the EU boost solar energy?

EU measures to boost solar energy include making the installation of solar panels on the rooftops of new buildings obligatory within a specific timeframe, streamlining permitting procedures for renewable energy projects, improving the skills base in the solar sector and boosting the EU's capacity to manufacture photovoltaic panels.
