India in the first quarter of 2019 to keep the third largest solar market1

India in the first quarter of 2019 ( 第一季度) Is still the third largest solar photovoltaic ( PV) The market. The United States for a second consecutive quarter of become the world's second largest solar market after China.

by the end of March 2019, China's solar photovoltaic power generation capacity of 179. 7 gw, up 28% from a year earlier, in the first quarter of 2019 by 5. 2 gw.

according to the solar energy industries association ( SEIA) Said, in the first quarter of 2019, the United States installed 2. 7 gigawatts of solar photovoltaic power generation. In the first quarter of 2019, by contrast, India's solar power capacity of 1. 7 gw.

this is the fourth quarter of 2018 after a second consecutive quarter of solar power installed capacity in the United States more than India. In the fourth quarter of 2018, solar photovoltaic power generation capacity in the United States more than doubled. In the first quarter of 2019, it is better than India increased nearly 1 gw. According to

Mercom India Research the latest update in the first quarter of 2019 the Indian solar market, installed in the first quarter of 2019 in India fell 49% year on year, and the installation of the first quarter of 2018 amount to 3. 4 gigawatts.

compared with the first quarter of 2018, the United States in the first quarter of 2019 the number of installed rose more than 10%. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2018, the number installed in the United States fell by 37%.

in China, compared with the first quarter of 2018, the installed capacity of 9. 7 gw, down nearly 40% in the first quarter of 2019.

the SEIA said, this is the first quarter of the year the highest solar photovoltaic generating capacity installed.

SEIA, President and chief executive of Abigail & middot; Ross & middot; Hopper said: & other; In the first quarter of the data and forecast for the rest of the year for the solar industry is promising. ” “ However, if we are to have made such progress, we need to develop solar energy in 2020 decade, we need to make substantial progress, policy and market & throughout; Added the Hopper.

Mercom India Research predicts that India will increase in the 2019 calendar year about 9 gigawatts of solar power generation, Mercom estimates that by the end of 2022, India's solar power capacity will reach 71 gw, than the government's 100 gw nearly 30% below target. By actively promote and support policy, however, seems to still can achieve it.
