The difference lies in the units used to measure them. Solar energy generation is measured in gigawatt-hours (GWh), while installed solar capacity is measured in gigawatts (GW).
After 25 years, solar panels with a 0.5% degradation rate could be expected to generate approximately 85% of their initial energy production capacity. There are many ways to calculate how much electricity can be produced by a solar energy system on your roof, including a home assessment from a certified professional.
While the contribution of solar energy to global electricity production remains generally low at 3.6%, it has firmly established itself among other renewable energy technologies, comprising nearly 31% of the total installed renewable energy capacity in 2022 (IRENA, 2023).
Power generation from solar PV increased by a record 320 TWh in 2023, up by 25% on 2022. Solar PV accounted for 5.4% of total global electricity generation, and it remains the third largest renewable electricity technology behind hydropower and wind.
