Customer ServiceThe World Bank has published the study Global Photovoltaic Power Potential by Country, which provides an aggregated and harmonized view on solar resource and the potential for development of utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants from the perspective of countries and regions.
The PV systems have been developing from the first small-scale installations to huge gigawatt-scale solar farms covering dozens of square kilometers of land. Nowadays, when the global strive toward clean energy generation is especially strong, nearly every nation in the world has photovoltaic power generating stations.
Solar PV accounted for nearly 3% of total electricity generation in 2016 along with an additional of 1.9% from solar thermal. Through a ministerial ruling in March 2004, the Spanish government removed economic barriers to the connection of renewable energy technologies to the electricity grid.
The United States conducted much early research in photovoltaics and concentrated solar power and is among the top countries in the world in deploying the technology, being home to 4 of the 10 largest utility-scale photovoltaic power stations in the world as of 2017.
The worldwide growth of photovoltaics is extremely dynamic and varies strongly by country. In April 2022, the total global solar power capacity reached 1 TW. In 2022, the leading country for solar power was China, with about 390 GW, accounting for nearly two-fifths of the total global installed solar capacity.
In 2018, a cumulative capacity of more than 480 GWp of PV power was installed worldwide . Over one-third of the global capacity was installed in China, while the second third was made up of a combi-nation of Japan, the United States, and Germany. In total, the top 15 countries accounted for 90% of all PV capacity (Figure 3.13).
