Jenny Chase from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) currently projects 718 gigawatts (GW) of solar will be installed worldwide in 2027. How much will actually be installed?
BNEF will be the data source for consistency; if it's not available I'll use a credible source that closely aligns with the historical data below (e.g. 444 GW in 2023, 252 GW in 2022).
