About: Countries by Installed Solar Power Capacity 2024
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by total installed solar photovoltaic energy capacity in 2024, measured in Gigawatts (GW) according to the International Renewable Energy Agency IRENA. China leads global solar deployment by an extraordinary margin — installing more solar capacity in a single year than most countries have accumulated in total, driven by a combination of domestic manufacturing dominance, falling panel costs, and a national policy framework targeting peak carbon emissions before 2030.
