Drawing on insight from Lens Power, we''ve set out our view of the factors that will shape the year ahead – and beyond – in Global solar: four things to look for in 2025. Fill in the form to
We expect the combined share of generation from solar power and wind power to rise from about 18% in 2025 to about 21% in 2027. In our STEO forecast, utility-scale solar is the fastest
In this analysis, we examine the latest trends in installations, costs, and market dynamics, providing solar businesses, developers, and investors with a comprehensive picture of
Growth in utility-scale and distributed solar PV more than doubles, representing nearly 80% of worldwide renewable electricity capacity expansion. Low module costs, relatively efficient permitting processes
Explore the future of solar in 2025—key trends, new tech, and policies driving global clean energy growth.
The report is part of IEA-PVPS Task 1, which focuses on the technical, economic, and social aspects of PV power systems.
• The resulting revenue uncertainty—which may slow PV growth after 2025 —will be greater for small-scale solar than for utility -scale solar, because small-scale projects had benefited
As we approach a transformative period for the energy industry, The Future of Solar Energy in 2025 and Beyond signals a pivotal shift toward a cleaner, smarter, and more decentralized power system.
In 2025, solar energy continues to evolve as a key player in the global transition toward sustainable and renewable energy sources. Several major trends are shaping the solar industry,
Photovoltaic (PV) solar accounted for 58% of all new electricity-generating capacity additions through the third quarter of 2025, remaining the dominant form of new electricity-generating
Empa Solar Energy Europe is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in Poland, serving the European market. We specialize in C&I energy storage systems for factories and warehouses, industrial battery storage systems for heavy-duty applications, factory energy storage systems (ESS) to optimize production, commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS) for retail and offices, enterprise storage solutions for corporate campuses, industrial park energy storage for multi-tenant sites, commercial battery storage for peak shaving, industrial battery storage systems for backup power, and remote base station power solutions for telecom towers. Our portfolio also includes lithium-ion batteries, system-level battery management systems (BMS), energy conversion systems (PCS), energy storage battery system cabinets, communication cabinets for telecom and data centres, integrated PV-storage systems, distributed energy resources, deep discharge battery technology, and containerised BESS. As a full-service provider, we also offer modular battery racks, backup emergency power, and zero‑carbon microgrids. Our advanced lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion solutions ensure safety, scalability, and high performance for commercial, industrial, and utility projects across Europe.
Our modular energy storage portfolio ranges from compact lithium-ion batteries to 20ft/40ft mobile containers and outdoor all-in-one storage cabinets with IP54 protection. We are a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer, offering communication cabinets for 5G/telecom, server racks for data centers, and IP54 rated enclosures for harsh environments. Our stackable design allows flexible capacity expansion, while our grid-forming technology ensures stable off‑grid operation. Whether for remote base stations, off‑grid power systems, backup emergency power, integrated PV-storage or large zero‑carbon parks, our products feature advanced thermal management, deep discharge cycling, and compliance with European and international standards. We also provide professional energy storage system installation and after‑sales support across Europe.
