Developed countries have created the ground work while developing nations see solar energy as a catalyst for change. society. with diffic ulties, with financial constraints being one of the most daunting. The high ini tial cost renewable energy source.
The increasing global demand for energy and sustainable development have led to the adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology as a promising solution. Developing countries, with diverse challenges and aspirations, are at a pivotal juncture where solar PV adoption can catalyze transformative change.
The manufacture of solar PV technology is worthy of mention too, if only to note China’s ascendancy: the country has dominated the manufacture and global shipments of solar PV units for eight consecutive years, since 2010. The top 10 manufacturers, of which a majority are China-based, accounted for about 50 percent of shipments during 2016.
