After another record-breaking year, global solar power will generate enough electricity to meet 57% of the EU's needs in 2023.

Solar rooftop installations soared by 49 per cent worldwide last year, a major new report shows.

 

The increase to 118 billion watts (gigawatts or GW) worth of rooftop panels was enough to power 36 million more homes globally, according to SolarPower Europe, the continent's member-led association.

 

Solar power at large grew by 45 per cent to reach 1.2 trillion watts (terawatts or TW) of energy, putting the renewable on course to generate 1,612 TW hours (TWh) of electricity during 2023. That's equivalent to 57 per cent of the EU's total electricity demand.

 

"The world has realised that fossil fuel crises are the crises that never really go away," says Aristotelis Chantavas, president of SolarPower Europe.

 

"More than ever before, people in every part of the world are turning to solar. In a year defined by energy and climate crisis, solar hope continues to shine through."

It's the tenth year in a row that solar has smashed its annual installation record.

 

It took 22 years for the world to reach a solar fleet of one terawatt; but the report predicts we could be installing 1 TW of solar annually by the end of the decade.
