Dutch solar power output jumped by 46% last year; Netherlands
The Netherlands generated enough solar power to rise from sixth place among all countries in Europe, to fifth place in 2022. Solar energy used for both electricity and heating represents about 3.3 percent of all energy consumed in the Netherlands in 2022. That figure was 2.1 percent the year before.
The Netherlands Shines as Key European Energy Transition Driver
Massive imports of solar panels and components from China have been the main driver fuelling the solar push in the Netherlands in recent years. For the past three years, the Netherlands has been the largest single market for Chinese solar panel and module exports, accounting for an average of just over 23% of China''s solar capacity exports

Nearly half the electricity produced in the Netherlands
Solar electricity production up by nearly a quarter. A total of 21 billion kWh of electricity was generated from solar energy in 2023. That was an increase of 24 percent relative to the previous year. One major cause was the
Nearly half the electricity produced in the Netherlands is now
Solar electricity production up by nearly a quarter. A total of 21 billion kWh of electricity was generated from solar energy in 2023. That was an increase of 24 percent relative to the previous year. One major cause was the increase in the capacity of solar panels installed (+4.3 GW). A further 7.0 billion kWh of energy was generated from biomass.

6 FAQs about [Solar square energy The Netherlands]
How much solar energy does the Netherlands use?
The Netherlands generated enough solar power to rise from sixth place among all countries in Europe, to fifth place in 2022. Solar energy used for both electricity and heating represents about 3.3 percent of all energy consumed in the Netherlands in 2022. That figure was 2.1 percent the year before.
How much solar power will the Netherlands have by 2035?
Market research firm GlobalData projects Dutch solar PV capacity could rise to 55,000 MW (55 GW) by 2035. Longer-term projections from the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research estimate national PV capacity could reach 180 GW by 2050.
Why did solar panels increase in the Netherlands in 2022?
“In 2022, the total installed capacity of solar panels in all municipalities in the Netherlands increased by an average of 30 percent compared to 2021. In Dronten, the increase was largest at 161 megawatts (MW) due to the construction of the largest solar park in the Netherlands,” the CBS said.
What is the largest solar installation in the Netherlands?
2019 The largest solar installation in the Netherlands, the 103 MWp array in Groningen, becomes operational. 2020 The Netherlands passed the 10.000 MWp of installed PV capacity, becoming the 10th country to pass the 10 GW barrier.
What is the future of solar energy in the Netherlands?
All in all, with the subsidisation of sustainable energy endeavours set to continue, as well as the search for flexible solutions such as back-up storage and conversion of electricity into (hydrogen) gas or heat, the future of solar energy on land in the Netherlands is looking good.
Why is the Netherlands important to the European solar industry?
Important because the EU is heavily committed to greater energy independence by increasing competitiveness in net-zero technology. By taking concrete action now, the Netherlands can be at the forefront of the European solar industry, which will provide a crucial economic and strategic advantage on the long term.
