Global Organization
In 2023, global cumulative solar PV capacity amounted to 1,624 gigawatts, with roughly 447 gigawatts of new PV capacity installed in that same year. The growth in the solar PV use represents a shift of global markets towards renewable and distributed energy technologies.
Solar energy generation, measured in gigawatt-hours (GWh) versus installed solar capacity, measured in gigawatts (GW).
Global grid-connected solar capacity reached 580.1 GW at the end of 2019, along with 3.4 GW of offgrid PV, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. Total installed renewables capacity hit a remarkable 2,563.8 GW, with hydropower remaining the dominant source at 1,310.9 GW, followed by wind at 622.7 GW.
The implied FiTs total (including ROOFIT) from the Solar Deployment tables is 4,998 MW, while in Energy Trends this is 5,108 MW. consistent. More generally, the quality of MCS data is not as good for the early years of FiTs (2010 – 2014). The total installed capacity is the total amount that the solar panels can generate in DC (direct current).
In North America, total grid-connected PV capacity reached 68.2 GW at the end of December. About 60.5 GW was installed in the United States, followed by 4.8 GW in Mexico and 3.3 GW in Canada. In Central America and the Caribbean, cumulative grid-connected PV capacity reached 2.1 GW.
In order for homes and businesses to use cleaner, greener energy, more renewables – such as solar power and wind power – will need to be connected to the electricity grid.
