Continued growth in the solar energy sector is expected in the coming decades, driven by both large-scale installations and increased self-consumption based on rooftop photovoltaic installations. Solar contributes to reducing the price of electricity, putting the EU at a competitive advantage and helping to drive economic growth and create jobs.
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.
It aims to deliver over 320 GW of solar photovoltaic by 2025 and almost 600 GW by 2030. Alongside the plan, the Commission also presented a set of initiatives on permitting processes for renewable energy projects, which are reflected in the revised Renewable Energy Directive (EU/2023/2413).
According to the European Commission, solar energy has a potential to become part of the mainstream energy system by providing power and heat to households and industry. The strategy puts forward a target of over 320 GW of newly installed solar photovoltaic capacity by 2025, and almost 600 GW by 2030.
The analysis identifies key events and major policy shifts, such as the anti-dumping investigations in 2011, feed-in tariff rebates, the release of the "13th Five-Year Plan" for Solar Energy Development in 2016, and the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality aims" (dual carbon aims) proposed in 2021.
The Solar Energy Strategy is part of the EU’s RepowerEU plan to phase out Russian fossil fuels and accelerate the green transition in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. According to the European Commission, solar energy has a potential to become part of the mainstream energy system by providing power and heat to households and industry.
To regulate the PV industry and ensure its healthy development, the central government introduced a series of standards covering the design, construction, acceptance, and land use of solar PV stations. 4.2.3. Promotion and application of PV technology During this period, the domestic PV market experienced rapid development.
Continued growth in the solar energy sector is expected in the coming decades, driven by both large-scale installations and increased self-consumption based on rooftop photovoltaic installations. Solar contributes to reducing the price of electricity, putting the EU at a competitive advantage and helping to drive economic growth and create jobs.
Solar energy, in particular photovoltaics (PV), is currently the fastest growing renewable energy source in the EU. Last year, 56 GW of solar PV were installed in the EU, two thirds of it on rooftops, empowering consumers and protecting them from high electricity prices and reducing land use.
