Will global solar PV manufacturing capacity double next year?

Global solar PV manufacturing capacity is set to nearly double next year, reaching almost 1 TW, according to the IEA. This expansion would be sufficient to meet the agency's annual net zero demand for 2050, which anticipates PV deployment of nearly 650 GW in 2030 and almost 310 GW in 2024.

How will global PV manufacturing capacity change in 2022?

In 2022, global PV manufacturing capacity increased by more than 70% to nearly 450 GW, with China accounting for more than 95% of new additions across the supply chain. In 2023 and 2024, global PV manufacturing capacity is expected to double, with China again accounting for more than 90% of the increase.

Which companies produce the most solar modules in the world?

In the last years, global solar module production has increased considerably. In 2023, the world increased its module production by more than 230 gigawatts. Some of the largest solar module-producing companies include Longi Green Energy Technology, JinkoSolar, and Trina Solar.

How much solar power will the US produce in 2023?

It is forecast that module production capacity in the U.S. will increase from 29 gigawatts in 2023 to approximately 60 gigawatts in 2026. In Europe, the EU’s Solar Energy Strategy aims to increase the region’s solar PV manufacturing base.

Can the US map out solar PV manufacturing to 2030?

The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond. Announced solar PV manufacturing capacity across the globe has met the deployment levels suggested by the International Energy Agency towards 2030, but only 25% of the announced projects could be considered as committed, according to IEA's recent study.

What is solar photovoltaics and why is it important?

Solar photovoltaics is one of the most cost-effective technologies for electricity generation and therefore its use is growing across the globe. Global solar photovoltaic capacity has grown from around five gigawatts in 2005 to approximately 1.6 terawatts in 2023. Only in that last year, installations increased by almost 40 percent.
