A SolarPower Europe report has found that the sector’s workforce grew from around 466,000 to over 648,000 jobs between 2021 and 2022.

BSW forecasts a “double-digit percentage” growth in Germany's demand for solar power systems by the end of the year.

Installed solar PV capacity globally will grow 20-fold by 2050, when the technology will represent 38% of all electricity production, according to a new DNV report.

Swiss PV module manufacturer Meyer Burger has slashed its production plans for 2022 and 2023, citing a “challenging supply chain environment” which has caused delays to its planned production capacity build out.

Japan is forecast to have 111GW of installed solar by 2025 under a business as usual scenario, with this rising to 154GW by 2030. If it were to aim higher, however, under an ‘accelerated scenario’, it could hit 115GW of installed PV by 2025 and top 180GW by 2030, according to a new analysis by RTS Corporation.

In this latest edition of PV Price Watch, Liam Stoker plots recent industry price forecasts for polysilicon throughout 2022 and explores the contributing factors to that normalisation.

The US and China will account for a combined 57% of total forecasted solar capacity additions through 2030, with the countries adding 151.3GW and 436.9GW of solar capacity, respectively. Both countries have risks to this development, however, with the US needing to overcome trade and tariff problems, while China needs to ensure the reliability of PV production

German energy giant RWE has upgraded its earnings forecast for 2021 after “exceptionally positive” earnings trend

Europe’s installed base of electrical energy storage leaped by almost 50% during 2017 but perhaps the bigger takeaway is the growing share of battery systems installed behind-the-meter, an analyst has said

The US installed 10.6GW of solar in 2017, according to figures released by GTM Research.
