According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2022, the top solar-capable nations create our list of 15 countries that generate the most solar energy. And the IEA installed photovoltaic (PV) power statistic for 2022 was used to rank each nation. 1. China 2. United States 3. Japan 4. Germany 5. India 6. Italy 7. Australia 8. South Korea 9.
1) China – 306.4 GW The world will have to install 450GW of new solar capacity each year – most of it utility scale – for the rest of this decade, with China and India to lead Asia to a roughly half share of the world’s installed PV capacity in 2030, estimated IRENA’s World Energy Transitions Outlook report.
Spain deployed about 350 MW (+18%) of concentrated solar power (CSP) in 2013, and remains a worldwide leader of this technology. European countries still account for about 60 percent of worldwide deployed capacity of solar power in 2013. Austria had 421.7 MW of photovoltaics at the end of 2012, 234.5 MW of which was installed that year.
The United States is in the top 4 ranking for countries with the most solar PV installed. The American Solar Energy Industries Association projected that total solar PV capacity would reach over 100 GW by 2021.
Overall, the Asia Pacific region is leading the solar energy transition, with six countries in this region: China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and Vietnam, ranking among the top 15. Asian countries are making a concerted effort to transition to renewable energies, given their high energy demand and heavy reliance on coal for energy.
The United States conducted much early research in photovoltaics and concentrated solar power and is among the top countries in the world in deploying the technology, being home to 4 of the 10 largest utility-scale photovoltaic power stations in the world as of 2017.
