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.
The paper outlines the status of solar technology developments as covered in the World Solar Technology Report. A steady trend in technology improvements is observed, with crystalline solar PV being the dominant technology in the market.
One of the key trends in the solar PV industry in 2023 is the continued decline in the cost of components required for solar panel installations, such as solar cells and inverters. This is due to the increased manufacturing efficiency, advances in technology and economies of scale.
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.
The solar PV market maintained its record-breaking streak, with new capacity installations totalling to approximately 191 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). This was the largest annual capacity increase ever recorded and brought the cumulative global solar PV capacity to 1,133 GW.
Rapid solar PV development has occurred in other areas since 2013, particularly in China. In 2017, China became the largest solar PV market, outperforming Europe, with approximately 1/3 of the world’s installed capacity. The world's cumulative installed solar PV power capacity passed 1046 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). Table 3.
