In 2023 low-emissions power is expected to account for almost 90% of total investment in electricity generation. Solar is the star performer and more than USD 1 billion per day is expected to go into solar investments in 2023 (USD 380 billion for the year as a whole), edging this spending above that in upstream oil for the first time.
Global investments in solar photovoltaic energy stood at almost 300 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. Investment in solar PV has increased greatly since 2013 when it amounted to just over 100 billion U.S. dollars. Solar PV was the technology that accounted for the largest share of renewable energy investments in 2022.
Power sector investment in solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is projected to exceed USD 500 billion in 2024, surpassing all other generation sources combined. Though growth may moderate slightly in 2024 due to falling PV module prices, solar remains central to the power sector’s transformation.
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.
Governments need to turn their attention to ensuring the security of solar PV supplies as an integral part of clean energy transition. One of the key trends in the solar PV industry in 2023 is the continued decline in the cost of components required for solar panel installations, such as solar cells and inverters.
Establish a balanced policy environment for distributed PV - Appropriate policies are needed to attract investment into distributed solar PV while also securing sufficient revenue to pay for fixed network assets and ensuring that the cost burden is allocated fairly among all consumers.
Advances in technology have led to manufacturing of solar cells and inverters at a lower cost. The economies of scale have resulted in the cost-effective production of solar panels in larger quantities. The figure below depicts the key drivers involved in reducing the price of solar panels,
