Czechia deploys 357 MW of solar in H1
Czechia installed 357 MW of solar power during the first half of 2025, according to the Czech solar association Solární Asociace. This includes 200 MW in the commercial and industrial segment, 139 MW in residential installations, and 18 MW of utility-scale solar. By the end of June 2025, Czechia's cumulative solar capacity reached 4,825 MW. The 357 MW figure marks a slowdown compared to the first six months of 2024, when 484 MW were deployed. The residential segment experienced the largest decline, with around 13,000 installations, compared to 23,874 in the same period of 2024. Solární Asociace attributes the downturn to repeated changes in subsidy programs and reduced support. In the first half of the year, the Czech Chamber of Deputies approved a law to simplify permitting for solar and wind parks over 15 MW, and the Senate approved "acceleration areas" to fast-track projects. The largest new project is the 50 MW Saxonie PV plant in northwest Czechia, which began construction in April.
