It is provided by the World Bank Group as a free service to governments, developers and the general public, and allows users to quickly obtain data and carry out a simple electricity output calculation for any location covered by the solar resource database.
Further, the report captures the market trends covering solar infrastructure and electricity access rates in ISA Member countries. Global investment in renewables reached USD 0.5 Tn in 2022 due to the global rise in solar PV installations. Solar PV dominated investment in 2022, accounting for 64% of the renewable energy investment.
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.
In Benin, Burkina Faso, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, Samoa, Tanzania and Vanuatu – at least 9% of the population has benefited from off-grid solar lighting systems. The figure below shows the top 5 ISA Member countries with highest electricity access rate from off-grid solar solutions (solar home systems and mini-grids) in 2019.
Advances in technology have led to manufacturing of solar cells and inverters at a lower cost. The economies of scale have resulted in the cost-effective production of solar panels in larger quantities. The figure below depicts the key drivers involved in reducing the price of solar panels,
