Renewable energy sector experienced record growth in power capacity in 2022 due to the newly installed PV systems, overall rise in electricity demand, government incentives and growing awareness of need to transition to clean energy sources.
Governments need to turn their attention to ensuring the security of solar PV supplies as an integral part of clean energy transition. One of the key trends in the solar PV industry in 2023 is the continued decline in the cost of components required for solar panel installations, such as solar cells and inverters.
Further, the report captures the market trends covering solar infrastructure and electricity access rates in ISA Member countries. Global investment in renewables reached USD 0.5 Tn in 2022 due to the global rise in solar PV installations. Solar PV dominated investment in 2022, accounting for 64% of the renewable energy investment.
Government policies are vital to build a more secure solar PV supply chain - High commodity prices and supply chain bottlenecks resulted in the increase of 20% in solar panel prices over the last year. Globally, policies to support solar PV have focused mostly on increasing demand and lowering costs.
The total installed capacity of solar PV in Egypt has reached 1,704 MW in 2022 from 160 MW in 2017, grown at a CAGR of 60%. The country is targeting renewable energy capacity to reach electric power contribution target of 42% by 2035 as per Egypt’s Integrated Sustainable Energy Strategy 2035.
For Chile, the total installed capacity of solar PV in the country has reached 6,142 MW in 2022 from 1,809 MW in 2017, grown at a CAGR of 28%. Chile is home to one of the highest irradiation regions in the world, the desert of Atacama, with “around 60 to 70% of solar PV” capacity installed in the regions of Atacama.
Countries like China, the United States, Japan, India and Germany have made some of the significant contributions to global solar PV capacity.
