Recently, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released the 2020 Global Photovoltaic Report. The report shows that although the COVID-19 epidemic has fully erupted and spread in the past year, the global solar mounting structure market has once again achieved significant growth, with DC side installed capacity of 134GW, as of the end of 2020, the world's cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity is 760.4GW. There are 20 countries with new photovoltaic capacity exceeding 1GW. Among them, China, the European Union and the United States rank among the top three in the world with the scale of 48.2GW, 19.6GW and 19.2GW respectively. This is a huge development opportunity and challenge for solar mounting system manufacturers like CHIKO Solar!
Global solar mounting structure overview in 2020
In 2020, at least 20 countries will have new solar mounting installed capacity exceeding 1GW. The cumulative installed capacity of 14 countries exceeds 10 GW, and the cumulative installed capacity of 5 countries exceeds 40 GW. Among them, China ranked first with a cumulative installed capacity of 254.4GW, followed by the 27 EU countries with a cumulative total of 151.3GW, the United States ranked third with 93.2GW, and Japan ranked fourth with 71.4GW.
The main growth of the solar bracket market in 2020 will come from China and Vietnam, and a small part will come from the European Union and the United States. The main market decline came from India. In general, COVID-19 has no significant impact on the market development in 2020. Although the blockade measures during Q1 caused some project delays, most countries have resumed in the third and fourth quarters.
2020 Solar Mounting Structure Installed TOP10
The top ten countries with new solar panel installations in 2020 are: China, the United States, Vietnam, Japan, Germany, India, Australia, South Korea, Brazil and the Netherlands. In the past few years, several countries with large installed capacity, including France, Mexico and Turkey, have noticeably weakened their development momentum and have already withdrawn from the top ten position.
It should be noted that the installed capacity data of some countries are converted from AC-side power to DC-side figures, which may result in differences between the official photovoltaic data of several countries such as Spain, Japan, or India and the above statistics.
Global installation types and others
Preliminary data shows that compared with 2019, the utility-scale solar bracket market will grow slightly in 2020, but as the roof market increases, its market share will relatively decline. Thanks to the outbreak of rooftop photovoltaics in Vietnam and the partial growth of Australia, Germany and the United States, rooftop photovoltaic capacity has achieved a significant increase in 2020.
Photovoltaics will play a key role in the energy transition. In the past 15 years, due to the development of technology and the decline in prices, the solar mounting system market has continued to grow and has gradually become a mainstream power generation method. In 2020, photovoltaics will account for approximately 42% of the total power generation from all new renewable energy sources.
While the clean power provided by photovoltaic power generation can directly reduce CO2 emissions, photovoltaic power is gradually becoming a catalyst for other clean energy energy systems in other areas of power production. Energy storage, hydrogen energy, and cooperation between electric vehicles and photovoltaics are attracting more and more attention. Taking electric vehicles as an example, compared with 2019, a total of 3 million electric vehicles will be put into use in 2020, an increase of up to 40%. Compared with the growth curve of photovoltaic installations, the penetration rate of electric vehicles may be faster.
