The European Solar Communication—Will It Pave the Road to Achieve 1 TW of Photovoltaic System Capacity in the European Union by 2030?

The urgency of a clean energy transition in the European Union is now not only driven by concerns about climate change, but also using local renewable resources to reduce dependency on foreign imports. Solar photovoltaic electricity generation acknowledged as one pillars this and various policy measures were implemented over last two years accelerate deployment solar systems, rebuild competitive value chain Europe hedge against component supply disruptions. However, current political ambitions still do pay sufficient attention importance photovoltaics major contributor necessary future supply. According market trend between 2017 2022, currently average EU installed capacity 474.55 Wp/capita will reach 2246 or 1 TWp target 2030. At moment, seven member states have an per capita higher than value.
