The International Renewable Energy Agency has called for the world to add 551GW of solar capacity per year by 2030.

large scale solar PV plants are encouraged to be built in deserts, including Gobi, oil fields and coalfields that can hardly be restored. 

IRENA believed that yearly investments must more than quadruple to over US$5 trillion to stay on the 1.5°C pathway.

IRENA said a total of 192GW of solar capacity was installed in 2022, up 22% yoy.

Nearly a third of all renewable technologies employment came from the solar PV industry in 2021, according to a new report from the IRENA.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will deploy 241GW of solar PV by 2030, with the technology dominating new capacity additions.

acity must reach 5.2TW by the end of the decade in order to meet the 1.5°C Paris climate goal, according the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) latest World Energy Transition Outlook.

Solar installations in Central America must more than double this decade, before doubling again out to 2050 if the region is to be put on the lowest-cost path towards decarbonisation, a study by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has found.

Despite delays and supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19, global solar PV employment increased by 6% last year to reach nearly 4 million, according to a new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

The International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) director-general has hailed the start of a “decade of renewables”, following a 2020 that saw China and the US drive global solar installations.
