There can be absolutely no doubt that Solar Energy is now the fastest growing source of Energy Worldwide. In 2017, the World added 29.3% more Solar Energy capacity than the previous year. The main drivers of this were large commercial solar farms in Europe and America, but also China and India. The Paris based IEA has predicted that Solar will dominate future growth, with global capacity in 5 years time to be greater than the current combined total power capacity of India and Japan. The shift was driven by falling prices and government policies, particularly in China, which accounted for almost half the solar panels installed. RENEWABLE ENERGY GROWTH CONTRIBUTED UP TO TWO THIRDS OF NEW POWER

2016 was a record year for Solar energy installation, with a total of 76.6GW of Solar energy installed and connected to the grid in 2016. That’s a 50% year on year increase over the previous year in 2015. With current trends in mind it is projected that the current market will continue to grow at these rates and we expect to see new record installations for this year and into the medium term future. 50% - Global Solar Market Growth in 2016 The quickly decreasing solar power costs continue to improve the cost competitiveness of Solar energy when compared to other energy sources.
