The Major Solar Projects List is a database of all ground-mounted solar projects, 1 MW and above, that are either operating, under construction or under development. The list is for informational purposes only, reflecting projects and completed milestones in the public domain.
There are more than 7,570 major solar projects currently in the database, representing over 290 GWdc of capacity. There are over 1,120 major energy storage projects currently in the database, representing more than 43,650 MWh of capacity. The list shows that there are more than 150 GWdc of major solar projects currently operating.
Shotwick Solar Park is currently the biggest, with a capacity of 72.2MW — enough to power some 14,000 households and offset 24,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. Other large projects include the 69.8MW Lynham solar farm and 51.9MW Owl’s Hatch solar park.
SEIA makes major solar project data available to the public through the map below. SEIA members have exclusive access to the list as a sortable, searchable MS Excel file that is updated monthly.
Spain deployed about 350 MW (+18%) of concentrated solar power (CSP) in 2013, and remains a worldwide leader of this technology. European countries still account for about 60 percent of worldwide deployed capacity of solar power in 2013. Austria had 421.7 MW of photovoltaics at the end of 2012, 234.5 MW of which was installed that year.
There remains an enormous amount of capacity in the pipeline, with more than 139 GWdc of large-scale solar projects either under construction or under development. The Major Solar Projects List is a database of all ground-mounted solar projects, 1 MW and above, that are either operating, under construction or under development.

is the largest market in the world for both and . China's photovoltaic industry began by making panels for , and transitioned to the manufacture of domestic panels in the late 1990s. After substantial government incentives were introduced in 2011, China's solar power market grew dramatically: the country became the China's CHN Energy has energized the 3 GW Mengxi Lanhai Solar Plant, the largest single-site solar power project in China and the second largest in the world.

China continues its relentless expansion of solar power capacity, now home to the world’s largest solar plant. The 2.2 gigawatt facility spans an area of over 25 square kilometers in the Gobi desert. This $3 billion flagship project demonstrates the epic scale of renewable infrastructure developing worldwide.
Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country. In 2011, China owned the largest solar power plant in the world at the time, the Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park, which had a photovoltaic capacity of 200 MW.
In 2011, China owned the largest solar power plant in the world at the time, the Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park, which had a photovoltaic capacity of 200 MW. In 2018, it held the record again with the Tengger Desert Solar Park with its photovoltaic capacity of 1.5 GW.
Located in Datong City, Shanxi Province, it is the country's 3rd largest solar power plant. China's National Energy Administration aimed to install solar plants in this area. After successful completion of the project's 1st phase in 2016, this solar plant now has a total capacity of 1.1 gigawatts.
China is a solar energy hub that houses a number of the world's largest solar power plants. Over the last few years, China, which is the top emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG), has increased its share of renewable electricity generation.
Today, covering an area of 609 square kilometers, this solar power base boasts a power generation capacity of 8,430 megawatts, making it the largest in the world, according to Qeyang, deputy director of the administration committee of the Hainan prefectural green energy industry park.

Of the 32 countries in which nuclear power plants operate, only France, Slovakia, Ukraine and Belgium use them as the source for a majority of the country's electricity supply as of 2021. Other countries have significant amounts of nuclear power generation capacity. By far the largest nuclear electricity producers are. . operate in 32 countries and generate about a tenth of the world's electricity. Most are in , and .
