This study analyzes the rapid development of photovoltaic (PV)
energy production in Poland, highlighting its growing importance in
the country's energy transition and its efforts to meet EU climate and
energy targets. Over the past two decades, Poland has undergone a
significant transition from reliance on fossil fuels, such as coal, to the
use of renewable energy sources, with photovoltaic (PV) energy
becoming one of the most dynamic and transformative sources. The
study identifies the key drivers of this growth, including a favorable
regulatory framework, technological advances in photovoltaic
systems, and financial incentives such as the "My Current" program,
which has significantly accelerated the deployment of home solar
installations. In addition to analyzing the historical growth of the
sector, the study examines the structural and systemic challenges that
will hinder further PV expansion, including limited grid
infrastructure capacity, the need for more efficient energy storage
solutions, and regulatory complexities that impede large-scale
deployment. The article also compares the development of PV in
Poland with leading European countries in the field, such as
Germany, Spain, and Italy, as well as with Central and Eastern
European countries, such as Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and
Hungary, offering valuable insight into Poland's position in the
European renewable energy sector and its future prospects. The
results presented in the article not only illustrate the remarkable
growth of photovoltaic capacity in Poland over the past two decades
but also shed light on challenges such as grid infrastructure
constraints, regulatory barriers, and the need for investment in energy
storage.
