Unprecedented US solar PV expansion of almost 17 GW is forecast for 2020, the highest annual increase to date. Growth is mostly in utility-scale projects, with 3.9 GW more additions than in 2019, which will more than offset the decline forecast for the distributed segment.
Global solar PV capacity additions are expected to reach nearly 107 GW in 2020 in the main case, representing stable growth from 2019 (this forecast has been revised up by 18% from the market report update published in May).
Global solar PV manufacturing capacity has increasingly moved from Europe, Japan and the United States to China over the last decade. China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since 2011.
Two recently announced tenders are expected to increase commercial solar PV capacity by at least 80 MW during 2021 and 2022. From 2023 to 2025, PV growth will be driven by new tenders with a total potential capacity of 8.8 GW.
Solar PV module shipments include imports, exports, and modules produced and sold domestically. Demand for residential solar installations increased in 2020 in part because people were spending more time at home, which in turn resulted in an increased interest in home improvement.
Solar PV additions in 2020 are forecast to increase 8% (to 4.3 GW) compared with 2019 as the result of a robust development slate of projects from competitive auctions and the continued attractiveness of self-consumption.
