SolarPower Europe is combining for the first time the Market Report and the Membership Directory to bring together two of our flagship publications. The new format provides details of more than 140 member companies – the leading solar players in Europe – with key 2015 market statistics:
- In 2015, solar grew by 15% in Europe connecting 8 GW of solar power to the grid.
- With nearly 100 GW of installed capacity, Europe is still the most solarised continent.
- Global grid-connected solar increased by 25% to an estimated 50.1 GW in 2015, from 40.2 GW in 2014.
- An estimated 229 GW of solar power are now connected globally, up from 178 GW in 2014.
The report underlines that Europe is in a transition phase from solar markets that grew on feed-in tariff incentive schemes to new market-based frameworks. The focus should now be on Europe creating a smart electricity market design that builds on the strengths of solar power technology.
