World's largest photovoltaic systems are presented in the table below. The list is divided into tables - each table includes 50 plants. For each listed plant basic data is available (power, country, location, basic description etc.). Currently list with 1000 large photovoltaic plants is available (peak power > 190 kWp). In the table you may find different systems: standalone, hybrid, distributed, building integrated etc. But only systems (or system) which forms a unique photovoltaic power plant as a whole, are considered. If some power plants are missing and should be included in this table, or if some entries in the table should be modified, please send information to . Some other interesting BIPV system can you find in BIPV section. Some additional interesting information about cumulative power installed in IEA PVPS member countries can be found on IEA-PVPS web pages. Countries - click on the country name or flag to see detailed map (where available) - included in the list are:

                  - Germany, USA, Italy, Japan, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal

               - France, Switzerland, the Philippines, Réunion Island, Australia, Thailand

               - China, Saudi Arabia, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium

                     - Luxembourg, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, India, Greece, Rwanda

The main source of information included in the table below are various internet sources. The list should be as accurate as possible. Howewer the mistakes and missentries can not be excluded. Please inform me if some plants are not included or if the entries should be modified. For other especially interesting large systems please follow the links below:
