What is Solarpower Europe's forecast?
Methodology: SolarPower Europe’s forecast consists of a Low, Medium and High Scenarios. The Medium scenario anticipates the most likely development given the current state of play of the market.
How can the EU improve the value of solar energy?
Looking ahead, for solar to continue meeting EU targets and providing low-cost energy to European citizens and companies, the EU and its Member States must improve the value of solar electricity within the system. Energy system flexibility and storage are key tools to achieve this.

Will Europe meet its solar target?
Europe is not on track to meet its solar target as the market faces its first downturn in many years. The EU aims to install 600 GWAC (equal to 750 GWDC) of solar by the end of the decade, yet under current deployment rates, only 723 GWDC would be reached.
Which solar market contracts the most?
Out of all rooftop segments, the residential solar market contracts the most. It accounted for around 30% of installations between and and is now forecast to contribute just 15% of new capacities in . Utility-scale solar, by contrast, is expected to continue growing this year.
Is solar delivering today?
Solar is delivering today. In June , solar became the EU’s largest electricity source for the first time, delivering 22.1% of the total power mix. As it stands now, the EU will also meet the RePower EU solar target of installing a total of 320 GWAC (equal to 400 GWDC) by the end of .
