Solar installations fell by 20% in Europe last year while the global PV market grew by 50%, prompting calls for the EU to rapidly adopt policies that accelerate the uptake of renewable energy.
Europe installed about 6.9GW of grid-connected PV in 2016, compared to 8.6W in the previous 12 months, while global on-grid solar rose from 51.2GW in 2015 to roughly 76.1GW
