Solar LCOE Europe | Levelized Cost of Energy 2026
This page presents solar LCOE Europe data for the main European markets. Values are expressed in €/MWh and cover three segments: utility-scale (>1 MW), commercial (100 kW-1 MW) and residential (<100 kW). Data is compiled from public sources (Lazard LCOE Analysis v17, IRENA Power Generation Costs 2025) and updated annually.
An independent review before your investment decision
I review your assumptions (CAPEX, OPEX, PPA, LCOE, IRR, DSCR) and the risks to your revenue, to secure your returns.
Each assignment is scoped individually depending on project size, market coverage, data availability, analytical depth and delivery timeline.
