In 2024, Belgium solar power capacity saw a remarkable boost with the installation of 9.8 GW, marking an impressive growth rate of 16.66% compared to the previous year. As a result, the total Belgium renewable energy capacity has reached 60.12 % of the Belgium's energy mix.
Solar power directly contributes to the Belgium 's energy security and independence, as well as helping to meet rising electricity demand and CO2 emission reduction goals. The rapid solar photovoltaic installations were primarily due to ongoing supportive government policies and initiatives and a sharp decline in technology and PV system costs.
In recent years, Belgium's solar industry has seen continuous growth in operational capacity. According to data from Energie Commune, Belgium's operational solar capacity has increased annually since 2020. Between 2017 and 2018, annual solar capacity grew by 23%, followed by a 20.7% increase from 2019 to 2020.
