In 2023, France led the European solar photovoltaic off-grid electricity production with 658.39 MW, followed by Lithuania (343.7 MW) and Portugal (329.75 MW). Among the lower production capacities were Spain (38.77 MW), Sweden (21 MW), and Austria (9.52 MW). From the prior year, notable increases were observed in France (81.51%) and Lithuania (102.88%), reflecting significant investment and growth in these markets. Portugal and Ireland also showed substantial year-on-year increases of 46.07% and 47.78%, respectively, indicating robust growth. The smaller markets of Spain, Sweden, Norway, and Austria showed modest growth rates ranging from 3.33% to 5.75%.
Future trends to watch for include potential accelerated growth in established markets like France and Lithuania, driven by government initiatives and policies promoting renewable energy. Portugal and Ireland are also poised for continued expansion, potentially increasing their share of the European market. Emerging interest in off-grid solutions could drive growth in smaller markets like Spain, Sweden, and Norway, albeit at a slower rate. Technology advancements and cost reductions will further influence market dynamics positively, contributing to the overall increase in solar photovoltaic capacities across Europe.
