Fig. 7: Photovoltaic technical installed capacity and projections per EU MS for 2030 and 2050.
From: Mapping Europe’s rooftop photovoltaic potential with a building-level database
Per capita solar PV installed capacity is shown for each MS, comparing the 2024 status (grey dots) with the 2030 levels projected in the NECPs (square markers). The colour of the squares indicates the percentage of electricity demand coverage achievable using only NRBs. Triangles represent the total technical rooftop PV potential per capita, derived from the DBSM R2025 for both RB and NRB buildings. The colour of the triangles denotes the share of potential coverage of the projected 12.5 kWp per capita rooftop PV target by 2050. NECPs outline each MS’s strategy to meet the EU’s energy and climate targets for 2030; plans for Belgium, Estonia and Poland are still being finalized.
