The worldwide growth of photovoltaics is extremely dynamic and varies strongly by country. In April 2022, the total global solar power capacity reached 1 TW. In 2022, the leading country for solar power was China, with about 390 GW, accounting for nearly two-fifths of the total global installed solar capacity.
The solar PV market maintained its record-breaking streak, with new capacity installations totalling to approximately 191 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). This was the largest annual capacity increase ever recorded and brought the cumulative global solar PV capacity to 1,133 GW.
Other statistics (minima, maxima, percentiles) describe the country solar power potential in better detail. Distribution of a photovoltaic power output histogram communicates how much land in the country is available in practical potential Levels 0, 1, and 2, and various PVOUT ranges.
China was the largest market for solar PV installations, accounting for over half of the new capacity added in 2022. Other major markets included the United States, India, and Europe. Due to large capacity additions in 2021 and 2022, China contributed 38% of 2022 solar PV generation growth.
This was the largest annual capacity increase ever recorded and brought the cumulative global solar PV capacity to 1,133 GW. The solar PV market continued its steady growth despite disruptions across the solar value chain, mainly due to sharp increases in the costs of raw materials and shipping.
Countries like China, the United States, Japan, India and Germany have made some of the significant contributions to global solar PV capacity.

Many countries and territories have installed significant solar power capacity into their electrical grids to supplement or provide an alternative to conventional energy sources. Solar power plants use one of two technologies: • Photovoltaic (PV) systems use solar panels, either on rooftops or in ground-mounted solar farms, converting sunlight directly into electric power.
Solar panels are the base power generation units of a solar energy system, and can be independently used. A typical panel includes an aluminum (Al) alloy frame, tempered glass, a battery piece, EVA (ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer), and a backboard (TPT, Topotecan Hydrochloride) (Fig. 2) (Yin and Hao, 2009).
