Five Nations Launch Global Declaration to Double Rooftop Solar by 2030
At UN climate talks in Antalya, Turkey, five nations launched the Global Rooftop Solar Declaration, a voluntary initiative aiming to double the number of homes with rooftop solar panels worldwide to at least 300 million by 2030.
Orlando Daytona Beach Melbourne, FL, November 10, 2026 — The Global Rooftop Solar Declaration, a new voluntary initiative, was launched by five nations during the UN climate talks held in Antalya, Turkey.
The declaration sets a target to at least double the global number of homes equipped with rooftop solar panels. The initiative aims to reach a total of 300 million homes by the year 2030.
The specific names of the five nations that launched the declaration were not provided in the summary. The initiative is described as voluntary, suggesting that participation and implementation will be at the discretion of individual countries and entities.
Details regarding the specific strategies, funding mechanisms, or regulatory frameworks intended to achieve this doubling of rooftop solar installations worldwide are not yet available. The summary indicates that the declaration was made within the context of ongoing UN climate discussions, highlighting the global focus on renewable energy solutions and climate change mitigation efforts.
Rooftop solar power systems harness sunlight and convert it into electricity for residential use, contributing to reduced reliance on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions. The expansion of such initiatives is seen as a key component in many countries’ strategies to meet climate targets and transition towards cleaner energy sources.
Further information about the participating countries and the detailed plans for implementing the Global Rooftop Solar Declaration is expected to be released as the initiative progresses.
