Power sector investment in solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is projected to exceed USD 500 billion in 2024, surpassing all other generation sources combined. Though growth may moderate slightly in 2024 due to falling PV module prices, solar remains central to the power sector’s transformation.
There are a number of different investment options at the different stages of the solar supply chain, investments in the solar value chain have grown at a rate of ∼ 9% in the last decade. Investments in solar R&D have increased by 30% in 2021, nearly 90% of which was allocated to advance technologies in solar cells.
Investments in project development activities dominated the solar share of investments at 93% in 2021. Utility-scale solar attracted the highest investment followed by the residential solar segment and then the commercial and industrial solar segment.
Though growth may moderate slightly in 2024 due to falling PV module prices, solar remains central to the power sector’s transformation. In 2023, each dollar invested in wind and solar PV yielded 2.5 times more energy output than a dollar spent on the same technologies a decade prior.
Growth in the solar market is expected to continue in coming years, with the world expected to near 2 TW of solar installed capacity by 2025, and potentially near 5 TW of installed capacity by 2030, depending on various estimations. These figures underline the significant potential for growth in the solar market.
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%.
