Global solar PV investments in capacity additions increased by over 20% in 2022 and surpassed USD 320 billion, marking another record year. Solar PV comprised almost 45% of total global electricity generation investment in 2022, triple the spending on all fossil fuel technologies collectively.
Solar PV is emerging as one of the most competitive sources of new power generation capacity after a decade of dramatic cost declines. A decline of 74% in total installed costs was observed between 2010 and 2018 (Figure 10).
Power generation from solar PV increased by a record 270 TWh in 2022, up by 26% on 2021. Solar PV accounted for 4.5% of total global electricity generation, and it remains the third largest renewable electricity technology behind hydropower and wind.
Despite increases in investment costs due to rising commodity prices, utility-scale solar PV is the least costly option for new electricity generation in a significant majority of countries worldwide.
Private actors have been the main contributors to solar energy financing; this is evident from the fact that the share of the private sector in the solar sector accounts for ∼86% of total investments, with project developers occupying the major share of ∼56%.
Global average annual solar PV investment needs to scale up by 68% until 2050 (USD 192billion/year) compared to 2018 investment (USD 114 billion/year). and 18% of total annual investment respectively. Asia is followed by North America at USD 37 billion per year and then Europe at USD 19 billion per year (Figure 15).
