The Czech Republic had almost two gigawatts (GW) of photovoltaic capacity at the end of 2010, but installed less than 10 megawatts (MW) in 2011 due to the feed-in tariff being reduced by 25%, after installing almost 1,500 MW the year before. Installations increased to 109 MW in 2012. In 2014, no new installations were reported.

The Czech Republic’s failure to make the most of its potential for solar energy production has long come in for criticism. According to a study by the Czech Solar Association, the country’s current forecast for the development of the solar industry by 2030 will see it using less than 10% of its technical capacity.
The Czech Republic will have hard time looking for someone willing to invest in the sector," the Czech Solar Association Chairman Jan Krcmar said. Majority state-owned electricity producer CEZ (CEZP.PR) plans to invest $4.15 billion - four times its 2020 profit - into building 6 gigawatt of solar power capacity by 2030.
At the end of 2021, there were over 50,000 photovoltaic power plants with an installed capacity of about 2200 MWp in the Czech Republic. There were 500 solar parks with a capacity of over 1 MWp. During 2022, the number of installations rose to almost 85,000 PV plants with a total capacity of 2,460 MWp.
But such classic “green energy” alternatives have been far less of a priority on an industrial scale in the Czech Republic than that most debated of renewable sources: nuclear energy. The Czech government recently joined nine other EU members states in calling for nuclear power to be classified as environmentally sustainable by the EU.
Solar energy has long been unpopular among Czech politicians since high compensation led to an uncontrolled boom in solar in 2009-2010, costing around 1.8 billion of euros in subsidies per year to the sector split between consumers and the government. The bill also raises special taxes paid by solar plants built in 2009-2010.
Production of electricity from coal, which has been historically determined in the Czech Republic by the available deposits of that energy mineral, decreases (in 2017, the share of lignite in power generation was 42.5% and black coal had 5.1%). Gradually, coal is replaced with nuclear energy (32.6%) and renewable sources (11.1%). Chart 13
