Israel Solar Power: New Rooftop Program to Cut
Israel launches a new rooftop solar program in 2025, aiming to add 1.6 GW of capacity by 2030. Learn how this initiative will lower
Solar energy is heat and radiant light from the sun that can be harnessed with technologies such as solar power (used to generate electricity) and solar thermal energy (used for applications such as water heating). The Israeli solar energy market is segmented by technology into solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal.
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.
The Negev Desert and the surrounding area, including the Arava Valley, are the sunniest parts of Israel, and little of this land is arable, which is why it has become the center of the Israeli solar industry. David Faiman thinks the energy needs of Israel's future could be met by building solar energy plants in the Negev.
