I just wrote an article about how much China dominates the world solar PV market. Though, looking through the Snapshot of Global PV Markets report from the International Energy Agency’s Photovoltaic Power Systems Program (IEA PVPS), a few other charts stood out to me at least as much as the … [continued]
The newest edition of the Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme report was recently released by the IEA — detailing a huge quantity of different aspects of the global solar PV market as well as country- and region-specific solar PV markets. This 19th edition of the report provides a number of highly interesting/useful … [continued]
With about 37,007 megawatts (MW) of solar PV power installed in 2013, world solar PV power capacity increased about 35% to 136,697 MW. Whereas Europe had dominated annual growth for years up until 2013 (10 years, to be precise), solar PV growth was much more evenly split last year, and … [continued]
I spent most of the weekend covering a bunch of stories I’ve been wanting covered but no one has been able to get to, as well as a few new stories that popped up. Of course, CleanTechnica doesn’t have an infinite budget, which is one key reason I started a … [continued]
Over 37 GW worth of solar capacity was installed worldwide during 2013, according to recent figures from the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA). Those figures exceed the prediction made by NPD Solarbuzz of 36 GW to be installed in 2013 by only 1 GW. The relative accuracy of NPD Solarbuzz’s … [continued]
Following our top solar states rankings and our top solar countries rankings, below are rankings that mix the two. The rankings are for total and new solar power capacity per capita as well as total and new solar power per GDP. I thin the results are very interesting…. If you … [continued]
–> Update: Also see the new top solar power countries vs top US solar states rankings. Following up on my top solar power state rankings, below are rankings of the top solar power countries per capita and per GDP. These solar power by country rankings are key to seeing who the … [continued]
The European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) has gone out and confirmed what others had already reported — the global solar PV market grew by about 30 GW in 2012 (31.1 GW by EPIA’s recording). But its report also includes a lot of other interesting and useful information about the European and … [continued]
This article originally appeared on Solar Love. Previously, we reported that Greece added 300 MW of solar PV in January 2013. The following two months didn’t see as much built, but the Q1 total did hit a respectable 793 MW. 259 MW were added in March and 234 MW were … [continued]
