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 power system|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.
