World`s solar photovoltaic capacity passes 100-gigawatt landmark after strong year
The world`s cumulative solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity capacity surpassed 100 gigawatts (GW) in 2012, achieving just over 101 GW, according to new market figures from the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA). This global capacity to harness the power of the sun produces as much electricity energy in a year as 16 coal power plants or nuclear reactors of 1 GW each. Each year, the world`s PV installations reduce CO2 emissions by 53 million tons.
The surpassing of the 100-GW mark occurred in yet another year of strong global PV development, with an estimated 30 GW connected ... |
