Capacity Growth
REN21 2014
Solar PV
By early 2014, at least 53 solar PV plants larger than
50 MW were operating in at least 13 countries. The
worlds 50 biggest plants reached cumulative capacity
exceeding 5.1 GW by the end of 2013.
CSP
Total global capacity increased by nearly 0.9 GW, up
36%, to more than 3.4 GW. The United States and
Spain continued their global market leadership.

Regional
Asia became the largest regional market in Solar PV.
Added 22.76GW to end 2013 with almost 42GW of
Solar PV in Operation.
Japan concentrates mostly on rooftop/floating
installations for lack of spatial resources.
China focused on the sunny western provinces which
are far from available grid connections.
India added 1.1GW, South Korea- 0.4GW and
Thailand 0.3 GW.

Philippines
The Philippines is located just right above the
equator. It is blessed with a good potential for solar
energy . The average solar radiation ranges from
128-203W/m2 which is equivalent to around 4.55.5 kWh/m2/day. The government has set
aspirational target of 1,528 MW in the National
Renewable Energy Plan to be reached by 2030.

Habitat Degradation/Displacement
Utility Scale Solar Farms
- require large amounts of land to produce
electricity on a commercial scale.
- potential impact of such projects on natural

Hazardous Materials
and its Disposal (Solar PV)
The majority of photovoltaic panels are made
from silicon and other metals that are
potentially toxic like mercury, lead, and
cadmium.
38
Greenhouse Emissions
The construction of new utility scale solar
energy projects and the panels are bound to
result in some greenhouse gas emissions.
