Solar power generation in Central Europe has grown at more than twice the EU average rate since 2019, according to new figures.

Three new Eastern European countries hit 1GW of solar in 2023, but many are struggling to maintain the tempo after the 2022 energy crisis.

A report from Ember estimates that 39GW of agriPV could be deployed above shade-benefitting crops such as berries.

Czechia recorded a significant increase in installed solar capacity last year with about 970MWp of capacity added to the grid, according to the Czech Solar Association.

Jonathan Touriño Jacobo explores how Eastern and Southern European countries have emerged in the race as key players for the European Union to reach 740GW of solar capacity installed by 2030.

Czechia had a boom of ground-mounted solar PV back in 2010 and is now near a new resurgence in the coming years, yet some challenges remain.
