The accumulated global photovoltaic capacity reached 2,974 gigawatts (GW) at the close of 2025, with 698 GW new added during the exercise, according to the report ‘Snapshot of Global PV Markets 2025’ of the PVPS program of the International Energy Agency. The data puts the sector above the 3 teravatios (TW) of installed capacity at the beginning of 2026, just two years after exceeding 2 TW and less than four years after the first teravatium. But…
The accumulated global photovoltaic capacity reached approximately 2,974 gigawatts (GW) at the end of 2025, after adding about 698 new GW during the year, according to the 13th annual Snapshot of Global PV Markets report of the International Energy Agency's (IEA) PVPS program. The figure confirms that the sector crossed the symbolic threshold of the 3 teravatiums (TW) at the beginning of 2026, just two years after reaching 2 TW and less than fou…
Solar added a record 600 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2025 and supplied more than 8 percent of the global total, but the next constraint is whether grids can move noon’s surplus into the evening
Solar photovoltaic generation increased by about 600 terawatt-hours worldwide in 2025. According to the International Energy Agency, that was the largest annual increase ever recorded for any electricity source, apart from unusual rebounds after global economic shocks. Total solar generation reached nearly 2,700 terawatt-hours, more than double its 2022 output and enough to supply over 8 percent of global electricity. The scale matters. Solar is…
