Largest Solar Power Plants in the World 2026
About This Dataset
Largest Solar Power Plants in the World 2026
The biggest photovoltaic solar farms in operation in 2026, ranked by installed capacity in megawatts. Solar capacity is measured at peak sunlight, so a solar farm produces far less electricity over a year than a conventional plant of the same rating.
Analysis
Gonghe Talatan Solar Park in China is the largest at 21,000 MW, 1.15 times the 18,320 MW of Ningdong Solar Park. The 10 stations here total 78,664 MW. 10 of them are in China - no other country appears. The smallest on the chart, Denlingha Solar Park, is rated at 3,350 MW, 16% of the leader.
