Solar power in Denmark amounts to 4,832 MW of grid-connected PV capacity at the end of September 2025, and contributes to a government target to use 100% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% renewable energy by 2050. Solar power produced 11.2% of Danish electricity generation in 2024, the highest share in the Nordic countries.

The goal of 200 MW of photovoltaics by 2020 was reached eight years early, in 2012. Projections of future capacity have continued to increase; a total of 9,000 MW (9 GW) is expected to be installed by 2030.

Many solar-thermal district heating plants exist and are planned in Denmark.
