2024 delivers mixed solar outcomes despite heat records
After 2023 set the record as the sunniest year of the century, 2024 brought more varied irradiance trends, according to analysis using the Solcast API. Variations in weather patterns, including El Niño and regional droughts, shaped solar energy performance worldwide. Despite the data showing that 2024 was the 2nd hottest year on record, that is not directly correlated with irradiance, and the solar picture is more varied around the world.
While regions like South America and sub-Saharan Africa enjoyed a relatively sunny year, others, including Canada, Western Europe, and India, faced increased cloud cover and lower solar production potential. Eastern Europe and southern Australia emerged as bright spots, benefiting from localized weather patterns that favored clear skies.
Americas
Canada and Alaska experienced a notably cloudy year in 2024, with solar irradiance dipping below the long-term average across much of the region. In contrast, the Midwest of the United States enjoyed increased irradiance, while most other areas, including the Gulf Coast
and Florida, saw typical or below-typical solar conditions. A particularly active storm season in the Gulf contributed to reduced irradiance in the southeastern United States.
Further south, Mexico and South America generally experienced well-above-average solar conditions. Drought conditions in the Amazon, with less evaporation and less tropical afternoon convective cloud formation, were key drivers of the exceptional sunshine in the region.
Europe and Africa
2024 reversed the sunny trend in Europe from 2023, with conditions diverging significantly between Western and Eastern regions.
