What share of its electricity a country gets from solar plants.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 2009 to 2025.
Top-20 · % of generation
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

The share of electricity generated by solar plants in a country's total generation. The fastest-growing series in all of energy statistics: where twenty years ago the share was measured in hundredths of a percent, it now runs into tens. The figure depends less on how much sun there is than on policy and prices: the leaders are not the sunniest countries but those that started building earlier. The flip side of that growth is the daily cycle: at noon solar pushes out the other sources, and in the evening it is gone altogether.
Important: The World Bank has no separate series for solar — there it sits inside “other renewables” together with biomass and geothermal. Aggregates for groups of countries are weighted by generation in terawatt-hours and computed from 2000 onward: there is no weight before that.
What share of its electricity a country gets from wind farms.
Electricity 2000–2025 Solar electricity generationHow much electricity a country's solar plants deliver in a year.
Electricity 2000–2025 Renewables share of electricityWhat share of electricity comes from all renewable sources, hydro included.
Electricity 1990–2021 Renewables excluding hydro, share of electricityWhat share of electricity comes from solar, wind, biomass and geothermal — hydro aside.
