The government of Israel has planned to increase its renewable energy generation to 17% of the total energy generation by 2030. In 2022, installations of solar energy systems increased amid soaring electricity prices. There was an increase of 18% in rooftop solar in private houses. In 2021, around 4,500 systems were installed.
In 2021, the renewable energy generation in Israel was 5.7 TWh, which was almost a 30% increase from 2020. Similarly, solar energy generation was 95% of the total renewable energy generation in 2021. The capacity deployment of solar energy in the country was 2,300 MW at the end of 2021.
