Global photovoltaic bracket market prospects

What is a snapshot of global PV markets?

This 12th edition of the “Snapshot of Global PV Markets” aims at providing preliminary information on how the PV market developed in 2023. The 29th edition of the PVPS complete “Trends in Photovoltaic Applications” report will be published in Q4 2024.

Why did the global PV base grow so much in 2022?

The global PV base once again grew significantly in 2022, reaching 1 185 GW (≈ 1,2 TW) of cumulative capacity according to preliminary market data, both despite and because of post-covid prices hikes and European geo-political strife.

Which countries have a strong PV market in 2021?

India once again showed strong growth with 18,1 GW, predominantly in centralised systems, and a PV penetration of nearly 10%. Strong volumes from Australia (3,9 GW despite supply chain issues), and Korea round out the regional market. Japan remained steady at 6,5 GW, the same as in 2021.

How much does photovoltaics contribute to the world's electricity demand?

In total, PV contribution amounts to over 8% of the electricity demand in the world. Public policies with regards to photovoltaics tend to change as governments seek to promote solar or react to changing costs to investors or even state aid programs.

Which countries have a high PV penetration rate compared to 2022?

There are now 18 countries with an estimated penetration rate over 10% (up from 9 in 2022): Spain, the Netherlands, Chile and Greece at over 17%, followed by Australia, Israel and Germany over 14%. With increased rates of PV installed, many countries have added 2 percentage points or more compared to 2022.

How many GW of PV systems will be installed in 2024?

The 29th edition of the PVPS complete “Trends in Photovoltaic Applications” report will be published in Q4 2024. It appears that 1 581 GW represents the minimum installed cumulative capacity by the end of 2023, and at least 407.3 GW but perhaps as much as 446 GW3 of PV systems have been commissioned in the world last year.
