2025 Global Solar Report

The global solar industry has surpassed 2 terawatts of installed capacity—but asset performance isn’t keeping pace. Over the past 5 years, equipment-driven underperformance increased by 214%, translating to potentially US$10 billion of unrealized revenue for the industry in 2024.


Raptor Maps’ 2025 Global Solar Report provides an unprecedented look into the state of solar performance across 193 GWdc of utility-scale and C&I assets. For owners and operators, the message is clear but unsurprising: asset management and operational excellence are two defining levers for profitability.
