The 2022 market was led by Germany, Spain and Poland(!). The Netherlands at #4 with 4 GW added, ahead of France with its meager 2.7 GW, not even growing in a year of sky-high electricity prices. Italy at the same low level, but tripling its market compared to 2021.

In total, the EU now has 209 GW of solar PV installed. The top-6 all have more than 10 GW:
1. Germany 68.5 GW
2. Spain 26.4 GW
3. Italy 24.7 GW
4. The Netherlands 18.0 GW
5. France 16.1 GW
6. Poland 12.5 GW

Especially for the little ones,
@SolarPowerEU
included a ranking by solar PV capacity per capita, starring The Netherlands as the first and only country with over 1 kW installed per capita!

In two scenarios, SolarPower Europe sees cumulative EU solar PV capacity double or triple by 2026, to 400-600 GW.

The report has little information or even estimates on actual solar electricity produced in the EU. I'd say an average of 1,200 kWh/year per kW is reasonable.
That would mean:
Current solar production: 250 TWh/year ≈ 9% of EU electricity
Expected by 2025: 480-720 TWh ≈ 15-23%

While the 2022 EU solar PV capacity additions were split 60/40 for rooftop vs utility-scale (ground-based), SolarPower Europe expects this to move towards 50/50 by 2026.

SolarPower Europe expects that the EU's recent #REPowerEU target of 750 GW installed by 2030 can be easily met, even in its medium scenario.
But the member states' National Energy and Climate Plans are still way behind, aiming for 335 GW by 2030, now expected to happen in 2024...
