Worldwatch Institute examines global trends in the solar power sector
The year 2013 saw record-breaking growth for solar electricity generation,
. . . as concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) and
. . . photovoltaic (PV) markets continued to grow.
Consumption of power from PV and CSP plants increased to reach
. . . 124.8 terawatt-hours in 2013.
. . . (67%) Europe,
. . . (23.9%) Asia and
. . . (8.1%) North America.
Despite the record growth in global solar installations,
. . . costs were down 20% in 2013.
July 2014, global PV module spot prices reached an all-time low of $0.63 per watt.
