The global solar PV market registered the strongest growth rate in 2016 after 2011. The market saw a modest YoY increase from 40.2 GW in 2014 to 51 GW in 2015. China, Japan, and the US are the largest markets for solar PV installations. In 2016, the solar PV market in China reached 27 GW, which is higher than the solar capacity of entire Europe, and we expect the demand to surge. The market in Japan also saw a substantial growth owing to the efforts taken and incentives offered by the government.
