6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Photovoltaic solar energy explosion in 2020”

Will solar PV additions slow in 2020?

Annual solar PV additions are expected to slow in 2020 after a record-breaking 2019 caused by a commissioning deadline for projects awarded in 2017 auctions. Still, utility-scale additions in 2020 are expected to demonstrate the second-highest growth, and further increases are forecast for 2021‑22.

Will solar PV waste be a significant environmental issue in 2050?

Considering an average panel lifetime of 25 years, the worldwide solar PV waste is anticipated to reach between 4%-14% of total generation capacity by 2030 and rise to over 80% (around 78 million tonnes) by 2050. Therefore, the disposal of PV panels will become a pertinent environmental issue in the next decades.

Will Self-consumption boost solar PV growth in 2020?

Maintaining self-consumption support for distributed systems could boost annual growth by 37%. Solar PV additions in 2020 are forecast to increase 8% (to 4.3 GW) compared with 2019 as the result of a robust development slate of projects from competitive auctions and the continued attractiveness of self-consumption.

How much solar PV capacity will be added in 2020?

Global solar PV capacity additions are expected to reach nearly 107 GW in 2020 in the main case, representing stable growth from 2019 (this forecast has been revised up by 18% from the market report update published in May).

Will US solar PV grow in 2020?

Unprecedented US solar PV expansion of almost 17 GW is forecast for 2020, the highest annual increase to date. Growth is mostly in utility-scale projects, with 3.9 GW more additions than in 2019, which will more than offset the decline forecast for the distributed segment.

Why is PV development slowing in 2021?

Deployment in the distributed PV sector is expected to slow in 2021 due to phase-out of the subsidy programme in the second half of 2020. Meanwhile, the number of utility-scale PV projects is forecast to increase, driven by the 2019 auction.
