That was down from 1.9GW in 2014. The country's accumulated PV generating capacity at the end of 2015 reached 39.7GW, the agency said.
The PV sector has long complained that a too-fast decline in feed-in tariff-based support in recent years is choking off solar expansion in the country.
At the same time, the impact of support for 500MW of PV capacity in solar arrays awarded in pilot tenders last year still remains to be felt in the installation statistics, and won't be enough to counter the general decline, the industry fears.
