A trillion photovoltaic solar panels represent an immense array of solar technology. . Solar energy can be harnessed two primary ways: photovoltaics (PVs) are semiconductors that generate electricity directly from sunlight, while solar thermal technologies use sunlight to heat water for domestic uses, to warm buildings, or heat fluids to drive electricity-generating turbines. Only in that last year. . Cumulative installed solar capacity, measured in gigawatts (GW). Data source: IRENA (2025) – Learn more about this data processed This is the citation of the original data obtained from the source, prior to any processing or adaptation by Our World in Data. 3TW—some way off the 432TW needed to provide all of Earth's electricity needs, but progress nonetheless.
