Solar energy in Poland is a rapidly growing sector of the country's renewable energy industry, driven by falling technology costs, government incentives, and increasing public interest in sustainable energy. Solar power is key to the Polish government's plan to produce 75% of electricity from carbon-free sources by 2040.
In numbers:Capacity: 21.794 GW,Generation: 17.334 TWh,Capacity factor: 11.15%.
Capacity as of 2025. Generation and capacity factor as of 2024.
, Poland's installed grid-connected photovoltaic capacity reached 21.8 GW, an increase of 25.7% over the previous year. Solar energy accounts for about 64% of the country's total renewable energy capacity of 34.3 GW and about 30% of its total installed power capacity of 72.4 GW. More than half of this solar capacityaround 12.2 GWis generated by over 1.5 million micro-installations operated by prosumers.
By the end of 2021, there were also around of installed solar thermal collectors which in Poland are primarily used for heating up household water.
