The world added 553GW of new solar capacity in 2024, although renewable power accounts for a fraction of the world’s electricity generation.

Solar and storage projects accounted for 84% of electricity generating capacity added in 2024, with solar seeing 50GW of new capacity.

Europe’s solar manufacturing sector heavily favours downstream products such as cells and modules, according to SolarPower Europe.

The US added a record 49GW of new solar capacity in 2024, according to figures from the BCSE and Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) has shown that solar PV made up 7% of the world's electricity generation in 2024.

Off-grid solar is helping provide power to those most in need, but new ideas are needed to plug the sector’s multi-billion funding gap.

Figures suggest that the European solar sector is seeing unprecedented levels of employment but the rate of new job creation is slowing.

The majority of American and Chinese companies are “prepared” for global supply chain disruption following the inauguration of Donald Trump.

Europe will more than triple its renewable power capacity by 2050, but this rate will not be enough to meet climate goals.

European solar manufacturing boasts a low carbon footprint, and falling material requirements, says SolarPower Europe.
