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.
In 2017, China became the largest solar PV market, outperforming Europe, with approximately 1/3 of the world’s installed capacity. The world's cumulative installed solar PV power capacity passed 1046 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). Table 3.
Global cumulative installed solar PV capacity stood at 1,624 gigawatts in 2023, in comparison to some 1.3 gigawatts at the beginning of this century. Solar is one of the fastest growing energy technologies in the global market as the average cost of using solar PV has decreased over the years.
In 2023, China installed the largest share of the world’s new solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity, at 58 percent of the total capacity. In comparison, the United States installed 8 percent of the world’s 360 gigawatts of capacity additions, the country's additions of photovoltaic systems totaled 235 gigawatts in that year.
China continues to lead in terms of solar PV capacity additions, with 100 GW added in 2022, almost 60% more than in 2021. The 14th Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy, released in 2022, provides ambitious targets for deployment, which should drive further capacity growth in the coming years.
