Nearly 50 developing countries have so far adopted solar PV.
Nearly 50 developing countries have so far adopted solar PV. Feed-in tariff policies, which accelerate investment by offering producers favorable long-term contracts, are the most extended form of solar PV support. For instance, in Uganda, FITs have attractive prices, which have boosted the country's renewable market and local economy.
The manufacture of solar PV technology is worthy of mention too, if only to note China's ascendancy: the country has dominated the manufacture and global shipments of solar PV units for eight consecutive years, since 2010. The top 10 manufacturers, of which a majority are China-based, accounted for about 50 percent of shipments during 2016.
Initiatives led by development funds and similar organizations, such as the International Energy Agency, the International Renewables Energy Agency and the World Council for Renewable Energy, are also used to stimulate the growth of and investment in solar PV technologies.
Asia (excluding Japan): Solar PV plants in Asia account for approximately 42 percent of global overall installed capacity of solar plants and less than 7 percent of the continent's energy mix. China is the leading generator in Asia, with 52 percent (or 8,548 MW) of the solar capacity installed in the region.
Partly due to the growth in solar photovoltaics (PV) in developing countries, this renewable energy source is on track to reach the Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS) level by 2030, which requires the electricity it generates to increase 16 percent annually, from 570 TWh in 2018 to almost 3,300 TWh in 2030.
