In 2023, China installed the largest share of the world’s new solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity, at 58 percent of the total capacity. In comparison, the United States installed 8 percent of the world’s 360 gigawatts of capacity additions, the country's additions of photovoltaic systems totaled 235 gigawatts in that year.
The capacity installed in each individual country listed ranges from a few dozens to dozens of thousands of megawatts. Starting from 2015, China has been ranking first in the race permanently. Its cumulative installed solar PV capacity is close to that of USA and all the countries of European Union taken together.
Solar photovoltaics is set to be the number one technology deployed across the globe for energy production, increasing the world’s installed capacity by 75% through 2027, adding 2,400 GW over the period, said the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Global cumulative installed solar PV capacity stood at 1,624 gigawatts in 2023, in comparison to some 1.3 gigawatts at the beginning of this century. Solar is one of the fastest growing energy technologies in the global market as the average cost of using solar PV has decreased over the years.
By comparison, North America's solar PV capacity amounted to 126.4 gigawatts. Get notified via email when this statistic is updated. You only have access to basic statistics.
1) China – 306.4 GW The world will have to install 450GW of new solar capacity each year – most of it utility scale – for the rest of this decade, with China and India to lead Asia to a roughly half share of the world’s installed PV capacity in 2030, estimated IRENA’s World Energy Transitions Outlook report.
