What is a snapshot of global PV markets?

This 12th edition of the “Snapshot of Global PV Markets” aims at providing preliminary information on how the PV market developed in 2023. The 29th edition of the PVPS complete “Trends in Photovoltaic Applications” report will be published in Q4 2024.

Why are PV module prices falling?

Photovoltaic (PV) module prices are a key metric for PV project development and growth of the PV industry. The general trend of global PV module pricing has been a rapid and steep decline— an order of magnitude over the past 10 years (Mints April 2019)—enabled by economies of scale as well as manufacturing and technology improvements.

How many GW DC of photovoltaics are installed in 2023?

The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that in 2023, 407–446 gigawatts direct current (GW dc) of photovoltaics (PV) was installed globally, bringing cumulative PV installs to 1.6 terawatts direct current (TW dc). China continues to dominate the global market, representing ~60% of 2023 installs, up 120% year-over-year (y/y).

Why did the global PV base grow so much in 2022?

The global PV base once again grew significantly in 2022, reaching 1 185 GW (≈ 1,2 TW) of cumulative capacity according to preliminary market data, both despite and because of post-covid prices hikes and European geo-political strife. With 240 GW of new systems installed

How many GW of PV modules were produced in 2023?

In 2023, the United States produced about 7 GW of PV modules. U.S. PV Imports According to U.S. Census data, 55.6 GW dc of modules and 3.7 GW dc of cells were imported in 2023, an increase of 87% y/y and 46% y/y, respectively.

Will distributed PV growth be hampered by the need to upgrade infrastructure?

Distributed PV growth could be hampered in the medium term by the need to upgrade distribution infrastructure. China’s central government asked state-owned independent power producers (IPPs) in late 2021 to achieve a renewables capacity share of 50% or higher by 2025.
