New solar PV manufacturing facilities along the supply chain could attract USD 120 billion investment by 2030. Annual investment levels need to double throughout the supply chain. Critical sectors such as polysilicon, ingots and wafers would attract the majority of investment to support growing demand.
Investments in solar photovoltaics accounted for USD 301.5 billion or 60% of the renewable energy investments. The annual installations of solar photovoltaic electricity generation systems increased by about 40% to over 230 GWp in 2022. Compared to 2021, the number of countries which installed 1 GWp/year or more has increased by almost 80% to 32.
Global investments in solar photovoltaic energy stood at almost 300 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. Investment in solar PV has increased greatly since 2013 when it amounted to just over 100 billion U.S. dollars. Solar PV was the technology that accounted for the largest share of renewable energy investments in 2022.
The investment attractiveness of photovoltaic technologies continues to grow amid skyrocketing gas prices hitting European consumers in 2022. The cost of generating electricity from a solar PV plant describes the ratio of total costs to actual electricity production (MWh), both of which are related to the useful life of the solar plant.
Global cumulative investment in solar PV manufacturing facilities doubled in the past decade amounting USD 100 billion in 2021 increasing by 50% during 2014–21 as compared to 2008–14. Additionally, the solar supply chains is highly concentrated in China, and there is need for diversification across the regions.
This was the largest annual capacity increase ever recorded and brought the cumulative global solar PV capacity to 1,133 GW. The solar PV market continued its steady growth despite disruptions across the solar value chain, mainly due to sharp increases in the costs of raw materials and shipping.
