Spain is one of the first countries to deploy large-scale solar photovoltaics, and is the world leader in concentrated solar power (CSP) production. Spain is also one of the European countries with the most hours of sunshine. In 2022, the cumulative total solar power installed was 19.5 GW, of which 17.2 GW were solar PV installations and 2.3 GW were concentrated solar power. In the same year
A prominent example of this shift is the Francisco Pizarro Photovoltaic Plant, the largest solar installation in Europe, located in the Cáceres province, Extremadura, Spain.
