The Solar Photovoltaic Future
EPIA and Greenpeace collaborate to create a vision of the solar photovoltaic future where over a billion people are served by energy from solar power. To achieve this future will require shifts in energy policies, technology innovation, and manufacturing scale. ...
... "The capacity of annually installed solar power systems would reach 281 GW by 2030. About 60% of this would be in the grid-connected market, mainly in industrialised countries. The total number of people by then covering their own electricity from a gridconnected solar system would reach 1,280 million. Although the key markets are currently located mainly in the industrialised world, a global shift will result in a significant share - about 20% or an annual market of 56 GW - being taken by the developing world for rural electrification in 2030.
