Extreme Weather Challenges Solar Market in 2026

The summer of 2026 brought extreme weather conditions that significantly impacted global solar markets, according to a new analysis by Solargis. Western Europe and the Western Pacific experienced higher-than-average solar irradiance, while other regions, such as Scandinavia, India, and South America, saw deficits. Extreme heat in France, the central U.S., and northern Canada fueled wildfires, and Typhoon Dolphin struck China as the strongest storm of the year. These anomalies highlight the limitations of relying solely on historical weather data for solar asset performance assessments. The developing El Niño is expected to further alter global solar resource conditions, emphasizing the need for high-resolution, real-time data to adapt to changing climates.
