IEA PVPS has released its latest Trends in Photovoltaic Applications 2025 report, revealing that the world''s cumulative installed PV capacity surpassed 2 260 GW by the end of 2024, marking a 29%
All solar segments set annual installation records except for residential solar, which experienced its lowest year of new capacity since 2021. The factors driving installation growth in
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory compiled and synthesized empirical data on the U.S. utility-scale solar sector. The focus is on ground-mounted systems larger than 5M AC, including
Well, here''s something you don''t see every day - solar installations grew 27% year-over-year despite supply chain bottlenecks. According to the (fictitious) 2025 Renewable Energy Market Pulse Report,
Almost 70 gigawatts (GW) of new solar generating capacity projects are scheduled to come online in 2026 and 2027, which represents a 49% increase in U.S. solar operating capacity
Renewable energy statistics 2025 provides datasets on power-generation capacity for 2015-2024, actual power generation for 2015-2023 and renewable energy balances for over 150 countries and areas for
GEM data included 185 GW of solar and wind farms that were under construction as of December 2023 and designated to become operational before the end of 2024. Globally, only 59% of
• At the end of 2024, solar was the second-largest source of U.S. generation capacity, though still a growing percentage of the U.S. electric generation mix. • In 2024, solar represented
There are discouraging trends to watch out for this year, from reduced net metering benefits to a lack of skilled workers, adding to the stress of higher financing costs for solar systems.
