Global Solar Power Industry 2018-2022 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global Solar Power Industry 2018" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The year 2017 was a record year for solar power. Dominated primarily by China, the industry installed 98.9 gigawatts of new capacity in 2017. The total global solar power additions in 2017 went up by nearly 30 percent.

While the market still fell short of analysts' expectations that it will finally reach 100 GW. Nevertheless, the rapidly falling prices of solar power have continued to boost this energy source's competitiveness as compared to others. This growing competitiveness of solar power is, in fact, one of the biggest factors driving the success story of solar power within the energy sector.

In 2017, China installed 52.8 GW, an increase of over 50 percent again from 2016. In 2016, the US installed around 15 GW of solar power, as compared to only 7.5 GW in 2015. In 2017, the US installed capacity went down slightly to reach 11.8GW. The US market declined by 20 percent from 2016.

It is expected that by the end of 2022, the global solar power capacity would reach 871 GW. It is also expected that Asian markets, especially China, Japan, and India, will account for more than 20 percent of the market by 2022. Europe and North America are also expected to together account for 28 percent by 2022.
