From 2016 to 2022, PV has seen an annual capacity and production growth rate of around 26%, doubling approximately every three years. During this period, it evolved from aof small-scale applications to a mainstream electricity source. Thewas the leader of installed photovoltaics for many years, and its total capacity was 77in 1996, more than any other country in the world at the time.
