4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Solar Power 2025"

What happened to solar power in 2025?

The IEA-PVPS 2025 Snapshot of Global PV Markets reveals a pivotal moment for solar power: global PV capacity surpassed 2.2 TW, with more than 600 GW installed in 2024 alone. As module prices fell due to oversupply, installation volumes continued to grow, highlighting both the strength and volatility of the global PV industry.

How much solar capacity did the world add in 2025?

In the first six months of 2025, the world added 380 GW of new solar capacity — 64% higher than during the same period in 2024, when 232 GW were installed. In 2024, it took until September for global solar capacity additions to surpass 350 GW, while in 2025, the milestone was reached in June.

Will 2025 be a good year for solar power?

With deployment surging across key markets and China's rapid scale-up pushing global installations to new highs, 2025 is on track to become another historic year for solar power. The numbers highlight not only solar's momentum, but also its pivotal role in reshaping the global energy system.

How big will solar power be in 2025?

In our most realistic scenario, we anticipate a 10% increase in installations to 655 GW in 2025, with annual growth rates remaining in the low double digits between 2027-2029, reaching 930 GW by the end of this outlook period.
