Solar power in Denmark amounts to 4,832 MW of grid-connected PV capacity at the end of September 2025, and contributes to a government target to use 100% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% renewable energy by 2050. Solar power produced 11.2% of Danish electricity generation in 2024, the highest share in the Nordic countries.
The nation added 545 MW of solar last year, up from 378 MW in 2023 but down from more than 1 GW in 2022. The new additions bring Denmark's total solar capacity to more than 4 GW. Utility-scale installations drove Denmark's solar growth in 2024, with projects over 1 MW adding 356 MW, said Dansk Solcelleforening.
The latest version can be found below and shows a total expansion of solar PV in Denmark of more than 3.3 GW as of 1 July 2023.. The installations consist of both large installations in the open country as well as smaller installations, mainly on rooftop. Solar PV Statistics 2nd quarter 2023 (Only available in Danish)
Denmark has lower solar insolation than many countries closer to Equator, but lower temperatures increase production. Modern solar cells decrease production by 0.25% per year. 2020 In 2020 The Danish Energy Agency announced 400 MW PV projects in the Nissum Fjord location. 2015
Recent data reveals a steady increase in solar installations in Denmark. While 2022 saw over 1 GW of new installations, 2023 and 2024 exhibited more moderate growth, with 378 MW and 545 MW

Data and information about Solar power plants and their location plotted on an interactive map of Denmark.
Across Denmark, communities are embracing solar cooperatives and local projects. These initiatives allow citizens to invest collectively in solar systems, sharing both the costs and the
Solar panels are used to heat up buildings and produce district heating, and solar cells are used to produce electricity. In addition, Denmark has three geothermal energy facilities in operation, and
How Much Electricity Is Generated from Solar Farms Each Year?What Country Is The Largest Producer of Solar Power?What Materials Are Used to Make Solar Panels?Most solar panels are made using silicon, which is a common and widely available material. Silicon is a semiconductor, which means that it can conduct electricity under certain conditions. To make a solar panel, thin wafers of silicon are cut from a large ingot of the material and then coated with a layer of phosphorus to create a negative charge.See more on database.earth
