Global solar installations are set to hit 100GW for the first time in 2017, according to latest market analysis by industry body SolarPower Europe (SPE).
The European PV group said the world is on course to beat 2016’s 76.6GW of grid-connected additions by more than 30%, an improved outlook on the 80GW of annual additions it forecast in June.
China is likely to take more than 50% of the total, with 42GW already in place after the first three quarters of the year, it added.
