8EU solar hits 400 GWdc with 65 GW/year additions but capture rate crumbles to 50% as batteries lag
A GEM Energy Analytics report by power market expert Julien Jomaux (May 13, 2026) reveals that the EU now hosts approximately 400 GWdc of installed solar capacity, growing at over 65 GW per year for the past three years. However, the rapid build-out is cannibalising its own economics - the solar capture rate has fallen to nearly 50% on an annual basis (2025), with Germany witnessing 45% of solar production in just 10% of hours. The EU's 80 GWh installed battery storage remains too small to absorb the surplus.

However, the rapid build-out is cannibalising its own economics - the solar capture rate has fallen to nearly 50% on an annual basis (2025), with Germany witnessing 45% of solar production in just 10% of hours. The EU's 80 GWh installed battery storage remains too small to absorb the surplus.
