The
2012
figure

with
another
record
year
on
its
hands,
according
to
the
European
Photovoltaic
Industry
Association
(EPIA),
which

the
estimate.
EPIA
initially
pegged
2011
additions
at
27.7GW,
only
to
later
revise
it
to
31.3GW.
However,
if
the
2012
figure
holds
static,
it

in
years
that
the
industry
has
not
topped
its
effort
from
the
previous

Globally,
some

of
PV
was

in

7.2GW
in
2009
and
5.6GW
in
2008.
