2.4M subscribers in the investing community. Silver up. What many don''t know is that silver is a primary ingredient in the photovoltaic cells that catch the sun''s rays and transform them into energy. 90 % of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells (the most common cell) use silver paste and close to 570 million ounces of silver are projected for use by solar energy by 2018
BNEF said China recorded $41 billion of investment into large-scale solar in the first six months of the year, up 173% year on year. “The investment growth trend follows China’s strategy to build new renewable generation capacity so that it can replace its existing coal fleet,” said Kou.
In the core scenario, results indicate that average annual wind and solar investment needs are $317 billion per year between 2020 and 2060, or 2.3 % of China's GDP in 2020. The average annual investment is $340 billion if we only look at the period between 2024 and 2060. The overall investment reaches $12.7 trillion for the entire 40 years.
In 2023, China commissioned as much solar PV as the entire world did in 2022 while its wind additions also grew by 66% year-on-year. Over the past five years, China also added 11 GW of nuclear power, by far the largest of any country in the world.
That $41 billion for big solar in China supplied the lion's share of the $66 billion that BNEF said was devoted to utility-scale photovoltaics throughout the world in the January-June period. The United States was the world's second-biggest large solar market in the first half, according to BNEF, with $7.5 billion invested.
Consolidation in China's crowded solar power sector is pushing smaller players out of the market, but excess production capacity - with more on the way - threatens to keep global prices low for years.
BloombergNEF (BNEF) says its latest survey of global clean energy investment indicates that Chinese solar and wind energy projects are being used to prop up its ailing economy.
