The share of solar PV and wind in global electricity generation is forecast to double to 25% in 2028 in our main case. This rapid expansion in the next five years will have implications for power systems worldwide.
This document provides the most comprehensive global overview of the development of the Photovoltaics sector, covering policies, drivers, technologies, statistics and industry analysis. · Global PV Installations: A record-breaking 456 GW of photovoltaic capacity was installed globally in 2023.
Solar PV and wind together account for 95% of all renewable capacity growth through the end of this decade due their growing economic attractiveness in almost all countries.
A steady trend in technology improvements is observed, with crystalline solar PV being the dominant technology in the market. Increasing scales of production have also led to significant cost reductions in the per watt cost of solar modules.
The main focus will be on one of the most successful technologies in recent years: solar photovoltaics (solar PV).
Global cumulative investment in solar PV manufacturing facilities doubled in the past decade amounting USD 100 billion in 2021 increasing by 50% during 2014–21 as compared to 2008–14. Additionally, the solar supply chains is highly concentrated in China, and there is need for diversification across the regions.
