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.
It is seen from Table 8 that South Africa, Egypt, and Morocco were the top three African solar power installers (solar PV and CSP) in 2022, with total installed capacities of 6.3 GW, 1.7 GW, and 0.8 GW, respectively.
There are more than 7,290 major solar projects currently in the database, representing over 257 GWdc of capacity. There are over 1,040 major energy storage projects currently in the database, representing more than 43,650 MWh of capacity. The list shows that there are more than 140 GWdc of major solar projects currently operating.
By 2050, Asia, led by China, is projected to dominate the solar PV market with around 57% of global PV installations, followed by North America (21%) and Europe (11%).
A solar project phase is generally defined as a group of one or more solar units that are installed under one permit, one power purchase agreement, and typically come online at the same time. Each solar farm included in the tracker is linked to a wiki page on the GEM wiki. The most recent release of this data was in June 2024.
In comparison to the PV installations in 2018 (481 GW), the world’s PV installed capacity is projected to increase almost six times by 2030 (to 2841 GW) and almost 18 times by 2050 (to 8519 GW, of which the distributed scale (rooftop) would account for 40% while the remaining 60% would be utility scale).
