SolarPower Europe says global solar hit 664 GW in 2025 as 2026 slowdown looms

SolarNews Brief

Global solar added a record 664 GW in 2025, but SolarPower Europe says the market is entering a more complex phase. The 2026 outlook points to a temporary slowdown unless countries solve grid, storage, permitting, and policy integration barriers.

SolarPower Europe's Global Solar Market Outlook 2026-2030 says the world installed a record 664 GW of solar PV in 2025, lifting cumulative global capacity to 3 TW. The report also warns that growth slowed to 12% in 2025 and could temporarily dip in 2026 as markets face policy shifts, grid constraints, storage needs, and integration bottlenecks. For developers and investors, the signal is clear: the next phase of solar growth depends less on module supply alone and more on market design, permitting, grid capacity, and flexible assets.
