SolarPower Europe, a Brussels-based solar industry association, has reported that solar became the EU’s top electricity source in June 2025, contributing 22.1%. The EU is likely to achieve its RePower 2025 target of 400 GW DC but should fall short of reaching 750 GW DC by 2030. Market growth was 3.3% in 2024 and is projected to contract by 1.4% in 2025, marking the first decline in a decade. SolarPower Europe has stated that rooftop solar installations have dropped as lower electricity prices and weak policies delayed household and SME investments. Residential solar’s share has fallen from 30% during 2020–2023 to 15% in 2025, as per SolarPower Europe’s assessment. Utility-scale solar has remained steady at 50%, though newly signed PPA volumes were 60% lower in Q2 2025. SolarPower Europe has noted that auctions have become increasingly important as pricing competition among developers has intensified across the region.
