The green energy production is an imperative of the sustainable development. In this context, the energy production based on solar radiation is an important alternative. Taking into account these aspects, the paper analyses the evolutions of primary productions of solar thermal and solar photovoltaic energy between 2000 and 2015 both in absolute values and in per capita values. The results of the analyses emphasize the exponential development of the productions of these types of energy. They also highlight the existence and even the emphasizing of the Europe Union productions concentration in some states like Spain and Germany that have produced 73.96% of the primary production of solar thermal energy in 2015, respectively Germany and Italy that have produced 62.2% of the primary production of solar photovoltaic energy, in the same year.
