A series of six scatter plots showing global solar power growth from 2019 to 2024. The plots compare electricity generation from solar (in terawatt-hours, TWh) and its share of total electricity generation (percentage) across different countries. Countries are grouped based on their total solar electricity generation in 2024. >100 TWh: China, the United States, and India have seen significant solar growth. 50-100 TWh: Brazil, Germany, and Spain have increased solar generation. 20-50 TWh: Australia, Italy, South Korea, and the Netherlands show strong growth, with solar making up a larger share of their electricity mix. 5-20 TWh: Countries like South Africa, Poland, Chile, Greece, and Hungary have increased solar power generation but remain in the mid-range. 1-5 TWh: Denmark, Jordan, and Cyprus have expanded solar power, with higher shares of solar in their electricity mix. <1 TWh: Smaller markets like Armenia, Estonia, and Malta have also increased solar generation but at lower absolute levels. The chart highlights widespread solar power growth across all regions, with significant increases in both total generation and solar's share of electricity generation between 2019 and 2024.
