Solar energy in Poland includes the production of solar thermal energy and solar photovoltaics. By the end of 2021, there were around 3,000,000 square metres (32,000,000 sq ft) of installed solar thermal collectors which in Poland are primarily used for heating up household water.[1]

Average annual insolation in Poland

The total solar photovoltaics (PV) grid-connected capacity in Poland was 17,057.1 MW as of 31 December 2023, comprising almost 59.27% of the country's total installed renewable energy capacity.[2][3][4] Growth has been strong; projections anticipate national PV capacity more than doubling from 2022 (12 GW) to 2025 (26 GW).[5] Solar power is key to the Polish government's plan to produce 75% of electricity from carbon-free sources (renewables and nuclear) by 2040.[6]
