Understanding Solar Energy
Solar installed measures the capacity of solar panels deployed worldwide. Approximately 450 MW of new capacity is added daily. Our solar counter trackskW per second, daily installations, and total global capacity.
Also known as photovoltaic capacity, solar power, and PV installations, this metric is closely related to renewable energy, clean power, and climate action.
Our solar energy data covers multiple dimensions including by country, rooftop vs utility-scale, over time, and cost trends.
