Executive Summary

In response to an unprecedented health crisis, countries had hoped to seize the post Covid-19 opportunity for a

green and sustainable recovery. Renewable energy sector experienced record growth in power capacity in 2022 due

to the newly installed PV systems, overall rise in electricity demand, government incentives and growing awareness

of need to transition to clean energy sources.

The solar PV market maintained its record-breaking streak, with new capacity installations totalling to approximately

191 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). This was the largest annual capacity increase ever recorded and brought the

cumulative global solar PV capacity to 1,133 GW. The solar PV market continued its steady growth despite

disruptions across the solar value chain, mainly due to sharp increases in the costs of raw materials and shipping. In

2022, 114 ISA countries (members and signatories) represented approximately 489 GW (43%) of the global solar PV

capacity. Europe & others region account for 56%of the total installed solar capacity among the ISA members

followed by the Asia-Pacific (36%), Latin America & Caribbean and Africa regions contributing to approximately 7%

and 1% respectively.

In addition to the increase in solar capacity installations, 135 countries had included renewable energy components

in their NDCs globally. The latest/revised renewable energy target in ISA Member countries are discussed in further

sections of this report. The number of countries with renewable energy policies increased in 2022, continuing the

multi-year trend seen in 2021 and 2020. Most countries support renewables with policy instruments that often vary

depending on the technology, scale or other features of installation (e.g., centralised or decentralised).

Innovation and cost trends are being increasingly seen across a broad range of technologies. The emergence of new

cell architectures has enabled higher efficiency levels. In particular, the most important market shift in cell

architecture has resulted from bifacial cells and modules. Other technology improvements of solar such as solar

trees, solar carports and floating solar are also discussed in this report. Solar PV cost trends emphasise on the major

drivers for reduction in the cost of solar PV in 2023 and the decline in costs of solar PV module and other

components. Major factors contributing to declining module costs included polysilicon availability and decline in the

shipping costs and raw materials.

The section on Solar Market Trends describes the ‘Distributed Renewables for Energy Access’ (DREA) systems, which

are a key solution for fulfilling the modern energy needs and also improving the livelihoods of hundreds of millions

of people presently lacking access to electricity/clean cooking solutions. It specifically holds the key in cases where

development of electric grid to deliver electricity up to the last mile is commercially not viable. Further, the report

captures the market trends covering solar infrastructure and electricity access rates in ISA Member countries.

Global investment in renewables reached USD 0.5 Tn in 2022 due to the global rise in solar PV installations. Solar PV

dominated investment in 2022, accounting for 64%of the renewable energy investment. The overall snapshot of the

investment trends across Asia-Pacific, Africa, Europe & others and Latin America & Caribbean regions are captured

in the solar PV investment trends section of this report.

This report is intended to educate the reader to understand the ongoing trends in the solar space across the world

in terms of technology, policy, employment etc. and could bring out positive change in the lives of people and the

planet.
