Americas Solar Power Market Outlook to 2022 - Solar PV Installed Capacity is Set to More than Double, due to Stable Growth in the US and Emerging Markets in Latin America - ResearchAndMarkets.com
This research presents an in-depth analysis of select solar power markets across the Americas countries of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and the United States.
The "Americas
Solar Power Market, Forecast to 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.
This research presents an in-depth analysis of select solar power
markets across the Americas countries of Argentina, Brazil, Canada,
Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and the United States.
Market size metrics and forecasts to 2022 are presented for total
installed capacity, annual capacity additions, and annual investment for
two types of projects: Utility-scale and distributed generation (DG).
The study also analyses the regulatory environment and key players in
each country and identifies technologies trends, drivers, and restraints
affecting the regional solar market.
The studied countries are at different stages of development but are all
driven by the same factors of increasing solar technology price
competitiveness, energy matrix decarbonization, and diversification
goals.
Except for Chile, Latin American countries have lagged behind North
American markets but are now experiencing considerable expansion due to
favorable regulations that include auction systems and net metering
policies. Utility-scale projects are the key drivers of installation
growth.
However, DG is expected to start/continue to expand steadily in Latin
America, representing significant market opportunities, especially in
Brazil and Mexico. Chile started solar farm deployment in 2012 and since
then, has witnessed massive installations, with solar becoming the
preferred RE technology and already accounting for 8% of the total
electricity generation capacity.
The United States solar market is strong and quite autonomous and is
forecast to continue expanding at 8 GW-10 GW per year, driven by the
decline in system costs despite the negative effects of import duties.
The outlook for Canada is not that optimistic.
Even though Canada has been one of the pioneers in terms of solar
development, it has favored natural gas and wind power as the main
sources to meet its greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. For
further expansion, it is crucial that solar power generation thrives in
Canadian provinces other than just Ontario.
Total installed capacity in select countries in the region will expand
at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.2%, adding 82.2 GW in new
capacity between 2018 and 2022, with $141.2 billion in investment.
