Benefitting from favorable policies and declining costs of modules, photovoltaic solar installation has grown consistently. In 2023, China added 60% of the world's new capacity. Between 1992 and 2023, the worldwide usage of photovoltaics (PV) increased exponentially.
A significant growth of PV power capacity in the future is predicted by all scenarios, regardless of the existing differences in the deployment pathways and ambitions. Total electricity generation in 2021 was 27,813 TWh and would have required a PV capacity of about 20.2 TWp.
It is worthwhile to note that compared to the World Energy Outlook (WEO) 2021, the modelled electricity supply of solar photovoltaics (PV) by 2030 in the WEO 2022 has increased from 6970 TWh to 7551 TWh (+8.3%) and from 23,469 TWh to 27,006 TWh (+15.1%) by 2050 . The corresponding capacities are given as 5.05 TW in 2030 and 15.47 TW in 2050.
Global Solar Deployment About 560 gigawatts direct current (GW dc) of photovoltaic (PV) installations are projected for 2024, up about a third from 2023.
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.
It is seen that the global weighted-average LCOE of solar PV technology reduced by about 89 % from 0.445 USD/kWh in 2010 to 0.049 USD/kWh in 2022. It is noticeable that the LCOE of PV technology has dropped into the range of fossil fuel electricity costs since 2014.
The State of the Solar Industry
At the end of 2023, global PV manufacturing capacity was between 650 and 750 GW. 30%-40% of polysilicon, cell, and module manufacturing capacity came online in 2023. In 2023, global PV production was between 400 and 500 GW. While non-Chinese manufacturing has grown, most new capacity continues to come from China.
