Once the sunlight passes through the earth's atmosphere, most of it is in the form of visible light and infrared radiation. Solar cell panels are used to convert this energy into electricity. The Romanian solar energy market is segmented by end-user.
Nevertheless, the government of Romania announced plans to add around 7 GW of new renewable capacity, comprising around 3.7 GW of solar energy, by 2030. This plan is likely to create immense opportunities for Romania's solar energy market in the future.
In the context of the European ambitions, Romania would need to aim for 44.4% RES, meaning 11.1 GW of solar - 6.1 GW for utility-scale and 5 GW for rooftop PV1. Drivers for solar growth The last two years have been marked by significant legislative changes that underpinned the development of the Romanian PV sector.
National targets for solar PV With an average of 1,900 to 2,400 annual sunlight hours, Romania has significant natural potential for solar PV development. Yet, the country has not set ambitious targets for renewable energy sources, aiming for only 30.7% of its final energy consumption to come from RES by 2030.
The Romanian PV market has entered a new boom phase, driven by the current security context, the imperative of green transition, and the favorable permitting framework. As the country moves towards decarbonization and the large-scale adoption of clean technologies, the outlook for the future of PV points to sustained development.
The new solar installations, equating to a 308% increase compared to the capacity deployed the previous year, have set a new record high since the early 2010s’ surge in renewable energy. Solar PV is now the fastest-growing power source in the country.
