The solar market in Eastern Europe is rapidly gaining significance amid the accelerating global energy transition. In recent years, enhanced policy support, energy structure adjustments, and improvements in the investment environment have significantly elevated Eastern Europe's strategic position within the international photovoltaic landscape. For the photovoltaic supply chain, this means not only a larger market scale but also new demands for system design, product reliability, and project delivery speed.

Particularly interesting is the market's growth rate. By 2033, solar power capacity in Eastern Europe—including Russia, Ukraine, and the Caspian Sea region—is projected to grow nearly fourfold to 205 GWdc, making it one of the world's fastest-growing regions. Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia are all in the rapid development phase of their projects, with large-scale ground-mounted power stations and portable solar panel mounting systems growing simultaneously.
Domestic policy support remains strong across countries. The EU's funding and other incentives targeting residential and commercial users have collectively driven the widespread adoption of solar fixing systems. Moreover, the transformation of energy structures has also created strong demand. During the summer of 2024, the share of solar power generation in countries such as Lithuania, Hungary, Estonia, and Poland exceeded 20%, with some countries even surpassing 30%. To enhance energy independence and reduce reliance on sources of fossil fuels, countries have made solar energy a core component of their future energy strategies.
The key factors driving the accelerated expansion of Eastern Europe's photovoltaic market stem from three areas: First, energy security demands, as countries seek to reduce reliance on imported energy; second, the rapid maturation of the PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) market, which provides stable revenue projections for large-scale projects; and third, the rising industrial electricity demand driven by economic growth, with an increasing number of businesses adopting self-built PV systems to cut costs and enhance sustainability performance.
Within the context of accelerated expansion across Eastern Europe's photovoltaic markets, Poland's growth rate and competitive advantages stand out particularly brightly. Poland is not only one of the engines driving photovoltaic development in Eastern Europe, but also the most promising photovoltaic growth market to focus on over the next decade.
Why is Poland so important in the Eastern European photovoltaic market?
1.Rapid and steady expansion of the domestic market
Poland has been among the top 5 European countries in new solar PV installations for several years. Its solar PV structure features balanced residential, commercial and industrial, and utility-scale solar farm, with the distributed market being particularly active.
