Global Market Outlook 2023-2027 – The Dawn of the Terawatt Age

The smarter E Podcast Episode 144 | August 03, 2023 | Language: English

2022 is the year that unleashed the global solar potential in a new way. The global solar market grew 45 percent in 2022, with 239 Gigawatts (GW) worldwide. Solar PV expanded its position as leading renewable energy source, with two thirds of total installations. Those are new numbers published in the Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2023-2027, which the European Solar Association SolarPower Europe releases annually.

To get a little bit in depth with some of the studies outcomes, we talked with Michael Schmela. Michael is Executive Advisor to the CEO and a member of the leadership team of SolarPower Europe.
