After 40 GW of PV installations in 2014, a confirmation of PVMA last January early estimate, 2015 experienced a significant growth with a market reaching at least 51 GW, exactly matching last year PVMA central scenario forecast. Strong growth was observed in all major markets while more emerging market started to contribute to the global growth.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>China installed in 2015 at least 15 GW, a 37% increase YoY. As anticipated, the utility-scale segment continues to dominate the market with a share of over 70% vs. distributed generation. China overtook the pole position from Germany with 43 GW installed capacity.<\/li>\n<li>Japan has installed about 10 GW of PV in 2015, with already 7.4 GW(AC) installed by the end of September under the FiT program.<\/li>\n<li>The US market grew by 56% in 2015 over 2014 to 9.8 GW, driven by ITC uncertainty and accelerated growth in the market for residential solar leases.<\/li>\n<li>Europe installed around 8.5 GW, driven primarily by a booming UK market at more than 4 GW, followed by a reduced German market at 1.4 GW.<\/li>\n<li>India confirmed its growth with 2 GW installed in 2015 and positive prospects for the coming years.<\/li>\n<li>As anticipated, a number of emerging markets on all continents started to contribute significantly to the global growth. Installations reached around 1.5 GW in other American countries and around 2.5 GW in other Asian countries, including Australia. Africa and the Middle East accounted together for about 1 GW.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These figures represent DC numbers and refer to grid connected PV systems. Figures reflecting installations or shipments of PV components can deliver slightly different results.<\/p>\n<p>Solar installation figures for 2015 continue to roll in, with South America\u2019s Chile and North Africa\u2019s Algeria both completing strong years.<\/p>\n<p>According to the latest figures from Chile\u2019s renewable energy research institute,\u00a0Centro para la Innovaci\u00f3n y Fomento de las Energ\u00edas Sustentables (CIFES), Chile finished 2015 with installed solar PV capacity of 848 MW. Chile installed 98 MW of PV in December alone, though that followed a November where the country only installed 3 MW.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, this represented an impressive year for Chile: In 2013, the country had less than 10 MW of solar installed. A year later it had 402 MW, and now at the end of 2015 it brought that figure up to 848 MW, with an additional 2,195 MW of PV currently under construction and a pipeline of approved projects totaling over 10 GW, and a further 3,944 MW of projects still being vetted.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/pvmarketalliance.biz\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/pvmarketalliance.biz\/<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PV Market Alliance (PVMA) estimates photovoltaic installations of at least 51 GW in 2015, perfectly in line with its last year report forecast, and short of most too optimistic expectations.
