Development of best practices and consensus standards in solar measurement enables the industry to develop common protocols for solar project development and operations. This reduces barriers to financing and reduces warranty costs.
Hydroelectric power standards address the commissioning, design, installation, control, use, and rehabilitation of hydroelectric generating plants and their components. Included as well are standards for fire protection, nomenclature, and identification.
Europe, however, dominates in terms of the energy mix and the percentage coming from solar PV, with 39 GW of new systems installed and commissioned, and several countries with penetration rates of over 10% (over 19% for Spain!). The American market is among the only ones to have contracted in 2022, with 18,6 GW installed.
Globally, solar PV alone accounted for three-quarters of renewable capacity additions worldwide.” While encouraging, the growth is still not enough to meet the COP 28 climate targets. According to the IEA, under existing policies and market conditions, global renewable capacity is forecast to reach 7 300 GW by 2028.
