China has now overtaken the European Union as the largest new market for solar power as the industry becomes one of the fastest growing in the world.
LONDON, 2 February, 2015 − Solar power is on course to overtake nuclear as a primary source of electricity production as the price of photovoltaic (PV) panels continues to fall.
Mass production in China and Taiwan has helped to increase the extraordinary growth of the solar power across the world and has led to an 80% reduction in the cost of panels since 2008.
Europe, and particularly Germany and Italy, led the way in solar installation, but Asia and the US are now catching up fast.
