In 2020, PV represented approximately 40% of new U.S. electric generation capacity, compared to 4% in 2010. – Over 30 GW AC of renewable energy and storage capacity was installed in the United States in 2020 Solar still only represented 6.6% of net summer capacity and 3.3% of annual generation in 2020.
In the accelerated case, global solar PV additions could be more than 120 GW in 2020, 16% higher than in the main case. China and the United States account for the largest portion of extra accelerated-case capacity because developers in both countries usually commission projects in the last quarter of the year, due to policy schedules.
The distributed solar power capacity (DPV) contribution in the US electric power sector in 2020 is estimated to be 9%. This is based on the EIA's estimate that 35% of the total US electric capacity additions in 2020 come from solar (26% from utility-scale solar and 9% from distributed solar).
In 2020, the photovoltaic power generation market increased on a large scale, and the new installed capacity increased from 30.1GW in 2019 to 48.2GW, and the scale of newly arranged projects reached about 77GW in 2020. It is expected that the scale of photovoltaic market in 2021 will continue to increase significantly on the basis of 2020.
NREL/PR-7A40-79758 NREL | 2 Global Solar Deployment • Eight of the leading PV markets collectively installed 93 GW AC of PV in 2020, up from 69 GW AC in 2019.
According to the data released by the National Renewable Energy Information Center, the installed capacity of household PV projects included in the scale of national financial subsidies in 2020 is 10.12 million KW, accounting for 65% of the new installed capacity of all distributed PV.
