Angelo Young, October 8, 2014 (International Business Times)
“Global solar panel installations are expected to hit 45.4 gigawatts of capacity for 2014, fueled largely by robust development in China, the United States and the U.K., [according to IHS Technology]…The numbers illustrate the steady rise of solar and other forms of renewable energy…[China will install 5+ GW and the United States will install 2.3+ GW] in the fourth quarter of 2014…[That will be] more than 50 percent of global installations…[Despite] a slowdown in solar installations in Germany and Italy, fourth-quarter global photovoltaic (PV) solar installations will hit 14.4 GW, or about 32 percent of the total for 2014. The U.K. made significant advances this year to become the world’s fourth-largest solar power producer [with an expected 3.1 GW of new capacity], after China, Japan and the United States…[G]lobal PV installations [will likely] slow from over 20 percent annual growth in 2013 and 2014 to 16 percent next year, or 53 GW…[T]he total global solar power capacity will grow from [1.5 GW in 2000 and] 98 GW in 2012 to 308 GW in 2018…” click here for more
