Installed solar energy capacity in Fiji, 2000–2025
Source: IRENA (2026) – processed by Our World in Data. Measured in gigawatts.
Analysis
Fiji recorded 0.0122 gigawatts for installed solar energy capacity in 2025. That is the highest value across all 26 years on record.
That represents a change of up 2.3% on the previous year and up 190.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, installed solar energy capacity in Fiji peaked at 0.0122 gigawatts in 2025 and was at its lowest, 0 gigawatts, in 2004.
That places Fiji 174th out of 218 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
