Solar PV
By early 2014, at least 53 solar PV plants larger than
50 MW were operating in at least 13 countries. The
world’s 50 biggest plants reached cumulative capacity
exceeding 5.1 GW by the end of 2013.
CSP
Total global capacity increased by nearly 0.9 GW, up
36%, to more than 3.4 GW. The United States and
Spain continued their global market leadership.
EgyE 201 | Solar Energy Report
12
Regional
Asia became the largest regional market in Solar PV.
Added 22.76GW to end 2013 with almost 42GW of
Solar PV in Operation.
Japan concentrates mostly on rooftop/floating
installations for lack of spatial resources.
China focused on the sunny western provinces which
are far from available grid connections.
India added 1.1GW, South Korea- 0.4GW and
Thailand 0.3 GW.

Philippines
“The Philippines is located just right above the
equator. It is blessed with a good potential for solar
energy . The average solar radiation ranges from
128-203W/m2 which is equivalent to around 4.55.5 kWh/m2/day. The government has set
aspirational target of 1,528 MW in the National
Renewable Energy Plan to be reached by 2030.”

Solar systems may be categorized depending on the
way that they capture and convert sunlight into
usable energy.
• Passive Solar Systems –
harness the heat energy from
sunlight without the use of
moving parts or electronics
• Active Solar Systems – use
mechanical or electrical
devices that convert the sun's
heat or light to another form
of usable energy
EgyE 201 | Solar Energy Report
25
Active Solar Systems - PV
Photovoltaics
• Directly converts energy from sunlight into
electricity
• Solar panels capture light energy from the sun,
and then use that energy to drive an electric
current
