- Solar energy
Photovoltaics These cells are assembled into solar panels and then installed on the ground, rooftops or floating on dams or lakes The EU funds many solar cell projects, such as the PERTPV project , in which perovskite-based materials were used to build a new type of solar cell
- Commission supports European photovoltaic manufacturing sector with new European Solar Charter - Energy
Solar energy, and in particular the deployment of photovoltaics, is currently the fastest growing renewable energy sector in the EU, leading to record numbers of annual installations in the last 3 years (around 28 GW in 2021, 41 GW in 2022 and 56 GW in 2023)
- European Solar Charter - Energy
Solar energy, in particular photovoltaics (PV), is currently the fastest growing renewable energy source in the EU Last year, 56 GW of solar PV were installed in the EU, two thirds of it on rooftops, empowering consumers and protecting them from high electricity prices and reducing land use
- EU energy statistical pocketbook and country datasheets
As example from the 2024 pocketbook, the EU’s share of renewable energy of the total energy supply (production and net imports) increased from 19% in 2021 to reach 25% in 2022 as shown in the visual
