5 Countries That Produce the Most Solar Energy

4. Germany

Installed photovoltaic (PV) power: 58.46 GW

Germany is Europe’s largest solar producer with installed photovoltaic power of 58.46 GW in 2021. Given energy price increases as a result of the Russia Ukraine war, solar adoption in Germany accelerated this year as the installation of solar systems in the country rose 22% year over year in the first six months of 2022 according to the Germany Solar Association. In the longer term, the country’s solar capacity will likely increase further given Germany has a goal of attaining 100% renewable power by 2035.
