Analysis
Indonesia recorded 2.14 terawatt-hours for solar energy generation by region in 2025. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 58.3% on the previous year and up 40,412.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, solar energy generation by region in Indonesia peaked at 2.14 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, 0 terawatt-hours, in 1971.
That places Indonesia 51st out of 79 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
