Record-Breaking Solar Generation in August

August has been a remarkable month for solar energy in Europe. A high-pressure system centered over France, Spain, and the Atlantic led to 20% more irradiance than usual, resulting in record-breaking solar generation across several countries. On August 5, France achieved its highest-ever solar generation in a single day, exceeding 15 GW for the first time. This surge was driven by clear skies and an unusually dry atmosphere, combined with the 30% expansion of France’s solar market in 2023. Similarly, other European countries, including Germany and Italy, experienced significant increases in solar power output, thanks to both increased irradiance and a substantial rise in solar capacity.

Looking Ahead: A Promising September for Solar Power

As we move into September, the outlook for solar power generation remains positive. The final weeks of August are expected to continue with clear skies, setting the stage for elevated solar production across Europe. Forecasts indicate that solar generation will be about 30% higher than in previous years during the same period, even after accounting for recent capacity expansions. These favorable conditions are predicted to extend into September, ensuring that solar energy remains a vital contributor to Europe’s renewable energy landscape.

The data supporting these trends come from Solcast, which uses high-resolution satellite data and advanced AI/ML algorithms to track clouds and aerosols globally. This precise modeling ensures accurate predictions of solar irradiance and generation potential, providing critical insights for the management of solar assets.
