Happy new year from the SolarPower Europe team!

The EU installed 65.1 GW of new solar in 2025 ☀️ meeting its mid-decade target

But market contraction puts 2030 target at risk

Nevertheless, solar stands ready 💪 delivering affordable, secure and clean energy for Europe

Solar market slowdown partly driven by home solar slump

While home solar accounted for 28% of new solar PV installed in 2023, it covers just 14% in 2025

Utility-scale solar farms made up over 50% of 2025 solar installations
