4 FAQs about Photovoltaic panel production capacity distribution map

What are the spatial distribution characteristics of PV solar panels in 2022?

From the spatial distribution characteristics of PV solar panels in 2022 (Fig. 7a), global PV is concentrated in the middle and low latitudes, and there is little PV distribution in high latitudes. Besides, PV solar panels are mostly distributed in densely populated areas of the world except Africa.

What is the global area of PV solar panels in 2022?

In the temporal analysis of global PV solar panels for 2019–2022, the global area of PV solar panels for each year 2019–2022 was first counted. In 2019 the global area of PV was 3831.6 km 2, and in 2022 the area of PV grows to 6469.8 km 2, the growth is 2638.2 km 2. The overall growth rate of PV solar panel area is more than 60%.

What is the global installed capacity of photovoltaics in 2022?

According to the data provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global new installed capacity of photovoltaics in 2022 was 133 GW, while the cumulative installed capacity reached 843.0 GW. In 2023, global installed renewable energy capacity additions are expected to increase by 50% compared to 2022.
