Visualizing Future Solar Power Capacity by Country

By Bruno Venditti – Visual Capitalist

The global solar energy landscape is rapidly transforming as countries race to expand clean energy capacity. This visualization breaks down total solar power by country, combining both operational and prospective (planned) projects.

The data for this visualization comes from the Global Energy Monitor’s Solar Power Tracker. It compiles every known solar project around the world, measured in megawatts alternating current (MWac), a measure of how much usable electricity a solar farm delivers to the grid.
