About This Dataset

Electricity generated from solar power in India each year since 2010, in terawatt-hours, as published by Ember. Each bar is one calendar year.

✨ AI Insight

India generated 0.11 TWh of solar electricity in 2010 and 196 TWh in 2025, an increase of more than 1,700 times. Growth has been continuous apart from 2019, when output was identical to 2018 at 37.45 TWh - the single flat year in the series. The pace has accelerated at the end rather than tapering: India added 52.9 TWh in 2025 alone, almost exactly matching its entire solar output in 2020 (52.9 TWh). For scale, India now generates more solar power than Germany and Spain combined.
