Solar capacity additions surged 74% in 2023, reaching a record 346 GW annual additions. China was the key driver behind the acceleration but solar''s phenomenal growth is spreading globally, with 28 countries installing
European solar developers will add 56GW of new deployments by the end of the year, according to SolarPower Europe, with installed solar capacity set to leap by 40% from 2022 to 2023.
In 2023, an estimated 96% of newly installed, utility-scale solar PV and onshore wind capacity had lower generation costs than new coal and natural gas plants. In addition, three-quarters of new wind and solar PV plants offered cheaper power than existing fossil fuel facilities.
As 2023 comes to an end, PV Tech is reviewing the year in solar, reflecting

Solar capacity additions surged 74% in 2023, reaching a record 346 GW annual additions. China was the key driver behind the acceleration but solar''s phenomenal growth is spreading globally, with 28 countries installing over one gigawatt of new capacity in 2023.
The 14th Five-Year Plan aims to further expand photovoltaic capacity, promote distributed photovoltaic projects, and encourage the integration of solar energy with energy storage, expand wind power installed capacity, and promote the growth of distributed wind power projects, utilizing renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy for
Impressively, solar generation in 2023 was over six times greater than in 2015, which saw 256 TWh generated. This rapid expansion is largely attributed to the significant reduction in solar technology costs, which plummeted by 87% from 2010 to 2020. The increased affordability has facilitated the swift deployment of solar capacity worldwide.
Solar capacity additions surged 74% in 2023, reaching a record 346 GW annual additions. China was the key driver behind the acceleration but solar’s phenomenal growth is spreading globally, with 28 countries installing over one gigawatt of new capacity in 2023.
The multi-energy hybrid power systems using solar energy can be generally grouped in three categories. The first category is the hybrid complement of solar and fossil energies, including solar-coal, solar-oil and solar-natural gas hybrid systems.
Thanks to the unprecedented solar capacity growth in 2023, a record-breaking 473 GW of renewable power capacity was built worldwide – a 54% increase from 308 GW in 2022. The strong growth in 2023 brought the world closer to achieving the ambitious goal of tripling renewable capacity by 2030.
Almost three-quarters of all renewable capacity built in 2023 was solar. Wind additions also increased by a sizable 51% in 2023, accounting for another quarter of renewable capacity additions in 2023. After two years of slower growth, 2023 saw a new record for wind capacity additions, beating the previous record set in 2020.
From this, 1.2GW is earmarked for 2024-25 and will target ground-mounted and rooftop solar and onshore wind, and 2.2GW is earmarked for 2026. Currently, around 18% of the market’s total installed capacity comes from renewables, with wind accounting for 8%.
