Solar power in Poland

Solar energy in Poland includes the production of solar thermal energy and solar photovoltaics. Solar thermal, used for heating water, used 1,700,000 square metres (18,000,000 sq ft) of installed solar thermal collectors at the end of 2014. This corresponds to about 1,200 MWth capacity. Solar collectors are the second largest source of renewable heat in Poland, after biomass heating plants. In 2014, Poland was ranked fourth in sales of solar collector installations among European countries.[1]
