The United States installed 10.7 GW-DC of PV in 2018 (8.3 GW-AC), with 4.2 GW-DC coming in Q4—cumulative capacity reached 62.5 GW-DC (49.7 GW-AC). Analysts also expect U.S. PV capacity to double by 2022. In 2018, global PV shipments were approximately 89 GW—a decrease of 5% from 2017.
In 2018, approximately 8.3 GW-AC of PV capacity was installed, of which 4.96 GW-AC were utility-scale PV and 3.37 GW-AC were distributed PV. EIA monthly data for 2018 are not final. Additionally, smaller utilities report information to EIA on a yearly basis, and therefore, a certain amount of solar data has not yet been reported.
This rule could affect 11–17 GW of projects and is expected to cause an increase in deployment in 2019 and 2020. Solar Power Europe“Global Market Outlook For Solar Power / 2019 –2023;” BNEF, “1H 2019 Japan Market Outlook.” April 2019. In India, most PV capacity is installed through a competitively bid auction for large-scale systems.
In 2018, the leading markets in terms of annual deployment were China (44 GW-DC), the United States (11 GW-DC), and India (8 GW). Analysts expect a significant increase in global PV deployment in 2019 and further increases through 2022.
In 2018, solar represented 4.6% of net summer capacity and 2.3% of annual generation. The 10 states with the highest percentage of solar penetration generated at least 4% of their energy from solar in 2018, with California leading the way at 19%.
Solar installations represented 22% of all new U.S. electric generation capacity in 2018—second to natural gas (58%).

Solar panel
Solar array mounted on a rooftop. A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. These electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries.
