Which Countries Have Installed More Than 1GW Of Global Utility Solar Energy?

According to data from Wiki-Solar, the installed capacity of large-scale solar power plants declined from 2017 to 2018, but resumed growth in 2019, reaching a record 45 million kilowatts of installed capacity, making the cumulative installed capacity more than 22 million kilowatts.



Philip Wolfe, the founder of Wiki-solar, points out that this growth is "largely due to emerging markets." He added that the top three countries (China, the United States and India) in cumulative installed capacity are still far ahead, "but as China's development slows, the pursuit of goals is changing," he said.



Countries/regions with cumulative installed utility-scale solar capacity exceeding 1GW:




From a country perspective, Japan surpassed Germany to rank fifth. Last year, the fastest growth was in Vietnam, thanks to 3.4 GW of new installations, making it the 4th place in the world in cumulative installed capacity in 2019. The cumulative installed capacity ranking of public-scale projects rose 38 places to 11th. It is expected that there will be more changes in 2020, the UK may drop several times, and Spain and Australia are also accelerating. Wolf said that under the leadership of Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina, South and Central America are becoming increasingly prominent.





Other growth markets worth watching are the UAE and Egypt in the Middle East. The 1.1 GW Shanhan power station in the UAE (completed last year) is one of the largest power plants in the world; and the Benban Solar Park in Egypt has an installed capacity of 1.5 GW.
