World solar power capacity passed the 100 gigawatt mark for the first time to 101 GW, the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) said on Monday.
World solar power capacity passed the 100 gigawatt mark for the first
time to 101 GW, the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) said on
Monday.
"This global capacity to harness the power of the sun produces as much
electricity energy in a year as 16 coal power plants or nuclear reactors of one
GW each," the association said in a statement
An unprecedented 30 GW was added to the world grid in 2012 alone, EPIA added.
"No one would have predicted even 10 years ago that we would see more than
100 GW of solar photovoltaic capacity in the world by 2012," said EPIA
President Winfried Hoffmann.
"The photovoltaic industry clearly faces challenges but the results of
2012 show there is a strong global market for our technology," he added.
