What is global photovoltaic power potential by country?

The 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.

What statistics describe the country solar power potential?

Other statistics (minima, maxima, percentiles) describe the country solar power potential in better detail. Distribution of a photovoltaic power output histogram communicates how much land in the country is available in practical potential Levels 0, 1, and 2, and various PVOUT ranges.

What is the development of the photovoltaics sector?

This document provides the most comprehensive global overview of the development of the Photovoltaics sector, covering policies, drivers, technologies, statistics and industry analysis. · Global PV Installations: A record-breaking 456 GW of photovoltaic capacity was installed globally in 2023.

Where does solar PV development occur in the world?

Rapid solar PV development has occurred in other areas since 2013, particularly in China. In 2017, China became the largest solar PV market, outperforming Europe, with approximately 1/3 of the world’s installed capacity. The world's cumulative installed solar PV power capacity passed 1046 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). Table 3.

When was PV power potential calculated?

The first detailed global overview of PV power potential has been calculated by Solargis, in 2016, and released within the Global Solar Atlas . The data was further updated in 2019.
