(in megawatts) This statistic represents the demand for solar photovoltaic (PV) power worldwide from 2007 to 2014 with a forecast for 2015 to 2020. In 2017, solar PV demand is expected to total 61,165 megawatts around the world. The United States has started a process to implement taxes on solar products from China and Taiwan,...Continue Reading

The solar investment attractiveness of a country is based on many factors. Some important ones are the overall investment attractiveness of a country, solar policies in the country, and the natural solar power potential of a country. Putting these figures together, above is a solar PV investment attractiveness index for Sunbelt countries that was created by the...Continue Reading
In 2015, European countries connected around 8Gw of solar power systems to the grids, a 15% increase over 2014’s 6.95Gw. Europe’s solar growth in 2015, is primarily based on the strong UK market, demand for solar systems in most other countries stayed flat or declined. Continue Reading
Reduced costs of photovoltaics and growth in attendance at EES and Intersolar conferences globally are just some of the factors indicative of a continual rise in solar energy generation. Around 329B USD was invested in renewable energies in 2015 (Bloomberg), and increase of 4% from pervious year. Despite falling oil and gas prices, 2015 was...Continue Reading
According to the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) the 66 sunbelt countries could have 1.1 TW of installed solar PV capacity by 2030. This would generate electricity for over 300 million people and would make up 2.6-6% of the sunbelt’s overall power generation. The 66 sunbelt countries have a population of 5 billion people (75%...Continue Reading
