Together with the European Data Journalism Network, DW has analyzed how Europe’s governments support the continent’s solar power expansion. How did solar become so popular so fast? Today, several EU countries host a capacity of around a kilowatt — roughly two solar panels — per person.
Countries across Europe support solar energy savings through a patchwork of net metering and feed-in tariff (FiT) programs. Each comes with its own credit duration, eligibility rules, and rate structure—making localized modeling essential.
However, the bulk of the demand for solar modules in Europe is covered by imports. Currently, 97% of the solar panels imported into the EU come from China. The charter sets out a series of voluntary actions to be undertaken to support the EU photovoltaic sector.
1. Binding local production targets: Member states must ensure that 30% of their annual solar module, battery and heat pump installations are produced in the EU by 2026. This addresses a critical vulnerability: 90% of EU solar components are currently imported, 80% from a single country.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
