View moreGlobal cumulative investment in solar PV manufacturing facilities doubled in the past decade amounting USD 100 billion in 2021 increasing by 50% during 2014–21 as compared to 2008–14. Additionally, the solar supply chains is highly concentrated in China, and there is need for diversification across the regions.
A steady trend in technology improvements is observed, with crystalline solar PV being the dominant technology in the market. Increasing scales of production have also led to significant cost reductions in the per watt cost of solar modules.
The main focus will be on one of the most successful technologies in recent years: solar photovoltaics (solar PV).
30%-40% of polysilicon, cell, and module manufacturing capacity came online in 2023. In 2023, global PV production was between 400 and 500 GW. While non-Chinese manufacturing has grown, most new capacity continues to come from China. Analysts project that it may take years for production to catch up with capacity.
With a 37% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), solar PV emerged as the fastest growing energy technology and the one with the brightest prospects. The market size in 2021 represents a 18% increase from 2020 and a 445% growth compared to 10 years earlier.
Solar PV systems utilize far less materials than equivalent capacities of wind power and are unique such that glass makes up a significant portion of their material usage by weight. The land usage (∼1–4 hectares per MW) and lifetime GHG emissions (under 50–60 gCO2e/kWh) remains low as well.
