It reveals that the EU installed a record-breaking 41.4 GW of solar this year - enough to power the equivalent of 12.4 million homes.With rapid and targeted support, SolarPower Europe believes that Europe could fill this gap.The country has held the number one spot since the early 2000s but it saw a big boost in the last year as high energy prices made the renewable energy source a cost-effective solution.The stability of the electricity grid and European manufacturing of solar panels also need to be improved to get rid of the roadblocks preventing growth.A solar-powered Europe can only be based on smoother administrative processes, speedier grid connections, and resilient supply chains.”Fortunately, the industry group says, Europe is already hearing these calls from the solar sector and has many of these recommendations on its agenda for 2023."
