New photovoltaic installations · 2024, 2025
Newly installed or first-connected PV installations/generating units in the stated national calendar year. One point = one installation/unit, not an individual module or necessarily one site. Germany includes balcony installations. Other sources mainly cover grid-connected systems; national recording boundaries, estimates and source years are stated by country. No conversion from MW and no complete global additions total.
Coverage and quantity per point
10 of 239 countries and territories with data. Known values for other areas are marked separately in the table; unassigned epicentres are not a country.
Normal map view: 1 installations / point. In focus: 1 installations / point. Quantity controls do not change annual values.

What the map shows
The map simulates statistical times from annual data. It does not report individual events actually happening now. Point counters show currently visible simulated points; the timeline records only regular points observed during the session.
Random points within a country are a display model, not actual event locations or regional consumption hotspots. Earthquakes retain their historical USGS epicentres. Start examples are labelled and excluded from counts. Background gaps are not replayed.
Original years, national definitions and recording boundaries differ. Tables are alphabetical and do not provide a reliable country ranking. With mixed source years, the breakdown of death points is a display model, not an exact balance of causes. Point quantities and fade durations do not change annual values.
All sources and methodologySources
- Renewable energy statistics: solar generating units commissioned, table 12
Bundesnetzagentur · Retrieved 2026-10-05 · Data snapshot 14 September 2026, calendar year 2025
Count of newly commissioned registered PV generating units, not converted from MW and not a count of individual solar modules. Germany counts MaStR generating units by commissioning date, including plug-in balcony, building, ground-mounted and other solar installations. Register snapshot 14 September 2026; late reports and corrections are possible. One unit is not necessarily an entire solar farm or site.
- PV Power Applications in Italy 2024
GSE / IEA PVPS · Retrieved 2026-10-05
Installed and grid-connected during calendar year 2024; commercial commissioning may occur later under the methodology. This differs from Germany's MaStR commissioning-date rule. The source separates gross additions and decommissioning.
- PV Power Applications in Sweden 2024
Swedish Energy Agency / IEA PVPS · Retrieved 2026-10-05
New grid connections in 2024, not a self-calculated stock difference. Off-grid systems are excluded from this count.
- New PV grid connections in 2024
Ministerstvo průmyslu a obchodu · Retrieved 2026-10-05
Published new connections in 2024: 40,925 residential plus 3,668 commercial/ground-mounted installations; disjoint counts totalling 44,593.
- Solar energy statistics 2024, section 2.4
Bundesamt für Energie / Swissolar · Retrieved 2026-10-05
Extrapolated installer reports of grid-connected systems installed in 2024, including replacements. No counts estimated from MW. The source publishes rounded subgroups whose sum differs by one installation from the published total of 56,015; the original total is retained. Not the net stock change of 55,820.
- Slovak Market Outlook for Renewables 2025, Figure 3
SAPI; regionale Verteilnetzbetreiber; OKTE · Retrieved 2026-10-05
Newly connected PV systems in 2024 from three disjoint classes: 14,275 + 1,398 + 29 = 15,702. Capacity figures in the chart and prose conflict; they are not used in this original count.
- Overview of the photovoltaic market in Slovenia 2024
Universität Ljubljana, PVportal; Daten ELES · Retrieved 2026-10-05
Published count of 15,417 new solar PV systems in 2024. No conversion of the adjacent 298.8 MW figure.
- Activity report 2024, corrected report
Institut Luxembourgeois de Régulation · Retrieved 2026-10-05
8,988 systems connected in calendar year 2024 according to the corrected original report, not the older rounded press figure of 8,000.
- Britain continues to break clean power records, 28 May 2026
Department for Energy Security and Net Zero · Retrieved 2026-10-05
Official count of 269,000 completed PV installations in 2025, rounded to thousands and therefore shown as an estimate; no invented precision. Source dated 28 May 2026; later register revisions are not mixed into this snapshot. UK data have different register and survey boundaries; not all small unregistered installations are covered.
- Solar photovoltaic dashboard, Q4 2024
SDES; Enedis; RTE; EDF-SEI; CRE · Retrieved 2026-10-05
Original new connections for 2024 from the national table: 267,819; not our own difference of two stocks. Provisional Q4 2024 source, subject to later revisions. National French coverage including DROM. The FRA geometry includes French overseas areas; no additional overseas row or double addition. Random map points do not identify regional PV concentrations.
