Solar power in Poland

Solar energy in Poland includes the production of solar thermal energy and solar photovoltaics. Solar thermal, used for heating water, used 1,700,000 square metres (18,000,000 sq ft) of installed solar thermal collectors at the end of 2014. This corresponds to about 1,200 MWth capacity. Solar collectors are the second largest source of renewable heat in Poland, after biomass heating plants. In 2014, Poland was ranked fourth in sales of solar collector installations among European countries.[1]

Average annual insolation in Poland

The total solar photovoltaics (PV) grid-connected capacity in Poland was 14,994.2 MW as of 31 August 2023.[2][3] Growth has been strong; projections anticipate national PV capacity more than doubling from 2022 (12 GW) to 2025 (26 GW).[4] Solar power is a key energy source in the Polish government's plan to produce 75% of electricity from carbon-free sources (renewables and nuclear) by 2040.[5]
