By the end of 2014, the country had approximately 33MW solar capacity. However, solar photovoltaic market growth in Croatia between 2015 and 2019 was moderate, with only 20.4MW newly installed capacity in this period from eligible producers. Chart 2:Croatia Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Electricity Generation 2011 – 2019 in TWh; Renewable Market Watch™
Croatia has one of the lowest photovoltaic capacity per inhabitant in Europe (15.6 Wp in 2020). The country will need strong support from local and international partners to develop its solar power sector and to decarbonize the economy. Croatia’s energy strategy in the foreseeable future
The abundance of solar irradiation in Croatia shall enable photovoltaic energy to become an increasingly cost-competitive power generation source and attract new investments. Croatian solar resource potential Energy Institute Hrvoje Pozar initiated several solar radiation measurements projects in Croatia.
In the report, Western Balkans Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Market Outlook: 2021 ÷ 2030 is included information about the recent solar projects in Croatia that are and would play a key role in expanding the solar power market in the country in the next few years.
The country might only add 2.5 MW of new solar capacity in 2022, and another 19 MW next year, according to the consulting firm. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) says that Croatia had 309 MW of installed PV capacity at the end of 2021. GlobalData expects the country to reach 770 MW of cumulative solar capacity by 2030.
Croatian solar photovoltaic market size is still insignificant. However, it has already attracted the interest of reputable domestic and international market players in recent years, and our forecast for its development by 2030 is optimistic.
