China and India are both among the top five countries in the world in terms of cumulative solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity. In general, China dominated the global solar market with almost 600 gigawatts of solar PV capacity added in 2022 – more than the rest of the world combined.

There are already over 120 PV power plants with a capacity of 10 MW or more (Komoto, 2010). The largest operational solar PV plant is an 100 MW ground-mounted plant in California. The largest building-integrated/roof-mounted system (11.8 MW) is located in Spain (Komoto, 2010).
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.
The largest operational solar PV plant is an 100 MW ground-mounted plant in California. The largest building-integrated/roof-mounted system (11.8 MW) is located in Spain (Komoto, 2010). Projections to 2015 are particularly challenging, given that new installed capacity has been growing so rapidly.
Since 2005, more than 1 200 PV plants with a capacity of 1 MW or more have been commissioned, with over 120 of these PV plants having an output of 10 MW or more (Philibert, 2011). Since 2007, the number and size of MW-scale PV systems has risen, especially in Germany and Spain (Komoto, 2010).
