Year end capacities

The growth of photovoltaics, showing the history of installed photovoltaics.

Photovoltaics has been growing at an average of 60.7%/year since 2007, and increased by 74.7% in 2011. Cumulative installations in 2012 increased 43.8%, and is expected to reach from 288.2 to 422.9 GW by the end of 2017. By the end of 2012, a total of 102.2 GW had been installed, sufficient to generate 110 TWh/year, enough to meet 0.6% of electricity generation and 1.2% of peak demand.[3]

Official agencies keep underestimating the growth rate of renewables.[4] There was a roughly exponential growth in global solar consumption from 2001 to end 2012, with an approximate doubling of consumption every two years. If the trend continues then solar power would reach 10% of total global power generation by 2018, advancing from the 55.7 TWh generation of 2011 to approximately 2200 TWh,[5] and would provide 100 percent of the current world energy needs by 2027.[6]

The United States was the leader of total photovoltaics installed until 1997 when it was surpassed by Japan, which maintained the lead until Germany took the lead in 2005, and has maintained the lead in cumulative installations through 2014. In 2011 Italy had the most photovoltaics installed during that year.

Notes: Off grid refers to photovoltaics which are not grid connected. On grid means connected to the local electricity grid. Δ means the amount installed during the previous year. Σ means the total amount installed. Wp/capita refers to the ratio of total installed capacity divided by total population, or total installed Wp per person. Module price is average installed price, in Euros. kW·h/kWp·yr indicates the range of insolation to be expected. While National Report(s) may be cited as source(s) within an International Report, any contradictions in data are resolved by using only the most recent report's data. Exchange rates represent the 2006 annual average of daily rates (OECD Main Economic Indicators June 2007).
Module Price: Lowest:2.5 EUR/Wp[21] (2.83 USD/Wp[39]) in Germany 2003. Uncited insolation data is from maps dating 1991–1995.
