6 FAQs about [Development map of solar photovoltaic power generation]
What is global photovoltaic power potential by country?
The World Bank has published the study Global Photovoltaic Power Potential by Country, which provides an aggregated and harmonized view on solar resource and the potential for development of utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants from the perspective of countries and regions.
What is the theoretical potential for PV power generation?
Theoretical potential for PV power generation is best characterized by the long-term distribution of solar resource, in other words, the ‘amount of fuel’ available for PV electricity generation at a given loca-tion.
Can a global solar PV census be used as a starting point?
We conclude that our dataset provides an initial global census of commercial-, industrial- and utility-scale solar PV installations, and can be used as a starting point for a more exhaustive, feature-rich inventory of global solar PV. See Supplementary Information for further details.
When was PV power potential calculated?
The first detailed global overview of PV power potential has been calculated by Solargis, in 2016, and released within the Global Solar Atlas . The data was further updated in 2019.
