Detailed analysis of solar investments can help countries, policymakers, financial institutions, and decision-makers in understanding the current status as well as the trends in the solar investment landscape and guide them in making focused interventions to accelerate solar energy adoption and clean energy transition. 4.1. Global solar investments
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.
Governments need to turn their attention to ensuring the security of solar PV supplies as an integral part of clean energy transition. 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.
A joint report by the Solar En ergy Association (SE IA) and GTM Research reveals that in the second quarter of 2011, 314.3 MW of solar photovoltaic energy was installed in the United Sta tes. For comparison - in the same period of 2010. This f igure was 186.5 MW . Figure 2. Renewable electricity generation by country and region, 2020-2021. low.
The paper also covers the status of the solar market as covered in the World Solar Markets Report. The past decade has seen a significant surge in solar market growth, rising from 30 GW in 2011 to 163 GW in 2021. This market growth has been driven by deployments in Asia in recent years.
As a result, solar installations reached 920 GW in 2021, and are now venturing into the terawatt scale for the first time. The paper outlines the status of solar technology developments as covered in the World Solar Technology Report.
