Understanding EPCs' Perspectives on the C&l Solar Market in Six Leading EU Country Markets - Part 1

The European solar sector experienced a historic milestone in 2023, with the EU-27 achieving a record-breaking 62.1 GWdc in photovoltaic (PV) installations. This surge underscores the urgency with which member states are moving toward their climate and energy targets. However, momentum tapered slightly in 2024, with annual capacity growth slowing down. Despite this deceleration, Germany, Spain, and Italy maintained their leadership as the top three PV markets within the EU for both 2023 and 2024. Regulatory uncertainty emerged as a significant deterrent to the growth of C&I solar markets across all surveyed countries. In contrast, clear national targets and well-designed incentive programs acted as primary drivers of market expansion. This underscores the critical role that stable policy frameworks and structured incentives play in fostering investor confidence and accelerating adoption within the C&I segment. Provided there are no market shocks or major emergency measures, the top six C&I markets in the European Union are expected to install 100.5 GWdc of new solar PV between 2025 and 2027.
