4 FAQs about Guolo Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation

How has solar energy generating capacity grown since 2009?

Nature 598, 604–610 (2021) Cite this article Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy generating capacity has grown by 41 per cent per year since 2009 1. Energy system projections that mitigate climate change and aid universal energy access show a nearly ten-fold increase in PV solar energy generating capacity by 2040 2, 3.

How many PV solar installations are there in the world?

The resulting dataset expands the previous publicly available facility-level data for PV solar energy by 432% (in number of facilities), including 18,449 new installations in China, 9,906 in Japan, 4,525 in the United States, 2,021 in India and 17,918 in the European Economic Area.

How do we provide a global inventory of PV installations?

Here we provide a global inventory of commercial-, industrial- and utility-scale PV installations (that is, PV generating stations in excess of 10 kilowatts nameplate capacity) by using a longitudinal corpus of remote sensing imagery, machine learning and a large cloud computation infrastructure.

Do solar energy siting decisions favour agricultural areas and disfavour forests and shrubland?

PV solar energy siting decisions favour agricultural areas and disfavour forests and shrubland. These findings highlight the need for further coherence on policy efforts seeking to navigate trade-offs between climate change mitigation, biodiversity and ecosystem health, conservation and land protection, and food production.
