We provide a remote sensing derived dataset for large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) power stations in China of 2020, which has high spatial resolution of 10 meters. The dataset is based
· Global PV Installations: A record-breaking 456 GW of photovoltaic capacity was installed globally in 2023. · China''s Dominance: China''s solar market accounted for the majority of global growth, contributing 277 GW, while the rest of the world added 179 GW. · Operational Capacity: By early 2024, over 1.6 TW of PV systems were operational globally, producing 2,136 TWh of
This analysis suggests that 115 GW (with a range of 81-149 GW) of solar capacity will be installed in the rest of the world in 2024. That is a rise of 29% compared to 2023 and reflects high additions from new markets such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
· Global PV Installations: A record-breaking 456 GW of photovoltaic capacity was installed globally in 2023. · China's Dominance: China's solar market accounted for the majority of global growth, contributing 277 GW, while the rest of the world added 179 GW.
This article was published by S&P Global Commodity Insights and not by S&P Global Ratings, which is a separately managed division of S&P Global. After global solar photovoltaic (PV) additions reached 421 GWdc – a staggering 70% year-on-year growth – in 2023, S&P Global Commodity Insights projects further 20% year-on-year growth in 2024.
After the high levels of additions in the last two years, annual solar installations would only have to show relatively modest levels of growth to meet this. BNEF forecasts average growth of 6% per year from 2024 to 2030. They reported 76% growth in 2023 and are expecting 33% in 2024.
This would once again surpass most industry forecasts, and comes after 2023 showed record growth in solar installations of 86% compared to 2022. Countries need to plan ahead to make the most of the high levels of solar capacity being built today and ensure the continued build-out of capacity in the coming years.
Actual reported data for 2024 is available to July with the exception for the US where the last reported datapoint is June. Data for some national sources including China have been converted from GW (AC) to GW (DC). China's solar installations from January to June 2024 surpassed the country's total solar additions in 2022.
