SolarPower Europe / Solar Market Report & Membership Directory – 2016 EDITION / 3
Foreword:
From the President and the CEO
Dear Members,
Welcome to the 2015 Market Report and the 2016 edition of the Members Directory. It’s
the first time we are combining the Market Report and the Members Directory to bring
together two of our flagship publications. The new format provides the details of all our
members alongside the key numbers for 2015 to give visibility to both the evolution of
the market and the key solar players in Europe. We hope you like this new format and
encourage you to provide your feedback to us on the new style.
Firstly, examining the figures, 2015 marked a good year for solar in Europe with an annual
growth of some 15%. This is the first time the sector has grown year on year since 2010‑2011,
so we should celebrate this achievement. Europe’s solar two‑digit growth in 2015, however, was
primarily based on the UK market. Most other European solar markets are still in a transition phase.
Globally 2015 was another record year for solar with a growth of over 25% on 2014, with more
than 50 GW connected to the grid – up from 40 GW in 2014. The two biggest markets are located in
Asia – China and Japan, while the USA ranked third. China not only added more than twice as much
solar as Europe, it also exceeded 40 GW of total installed capacity as a country, taking the number
one rank from long‑time leader Germany. At the global level solar is booming with new markets
appearing across the globe, all presenting their own unique opportunity for our sector.
With nearly 100 GW of installed capacity, Europe is still the most solarized continent. No other
region can boast solar shares as high as Europe – on average nearly 4% of electricity demand comes
from solar, and in its most advanced solar markets around 8%. The challenge is now to quickly
master the transition phase – from solar markets that grew on feed‑in tariff incentive schemes
to new, market‑based frameworks, where prosumers use solar power for self‑consumption in
residential, commercial and industrial sectors. In that sense, Europe again is the pioneer of solar.
After developing solar, Europe now has to quickly create a smart electricity market design that builds
on the strengths of solar power technology to be able to profit from the low cost solar has achieved.
In 2016 policymakers in Europe will play a key role in setting out the future of solar in Europe, with
the legislative initiatives on electricity market design and renewable energy targets for the post
2020 period due to be brought forward. These need to build a stable and ambitious investment
climate for solar to ensure that growth continues and that solar reaches its potential in Europe.
There is still a lot of work to be done to see a sustainable level of growth achieved in Europe, but
the work of SolarPower Europe in 2015 has begun the process to see that objective achieved. The
foundation stones laid in 2015 have strengthened the association tremendously in comparison to
previous years and with a new dynamic approach in place the successes of 2015 stand us all in good
stead to make a difference in 2016.
In relation to this, it is important to reflect on the key achievements of 2015. These are listed
below to give you an overview of the increase in delivery and influence of SolarPower Europe:
• The re‑brand of the association to a modern
forward looking corporate approach.
• The agreement to allow association members
to stand for election to the Strategy Committee
4 / SolarPower Europe / Solar Market Report & Membership Directory – 2016 EDITION
Foreword: From the President and the CEO
and to vote in the AGM, finally giving full
inclusivity to all members.
• On policy, the European Commission initiative
on solar self‑consumption, fully reflected the
asks of SolarPower Europe.
• The successful engagement with the European
Commission to see the direction of the
electricity market design consultation moving
in line with some of our most important ideas
on flexibility and increased liquidity in the
energy market.
• The adoption of a position on the trade case,
one of the largest issues at the European level
impacting the sector, where we previously had
no voice.
•The instigation of member led taskforces:
Operations and Maintenance, a tendering
taskforce and a BIPV taskforce to address the
challenges and opportunities in our sector in
Europe today.
• The recruitment of around 50 new members,
membership rising from 97 in January 2015 to
132 in January 2016.
•
The production of country information
fiches, supported by national associations, to
provide up to date and timely information on
regulatory changes to members.
•
The completion of the Sophia project,
which strengthened and optimised research
capabilities in the European solar sector.
• The agreement on the expansion of the Board
to reflect more interests in the leadership of
the organisation.
These key achievements are by no means an exhaustive list, but provide a flavour of the type of
work that has been successfully undertaken in 2015. There will be more to come in 2016.
Following on from the first strategic plan devised for 2015, the Board endorsed the approach for
2016, ensuring that the main focus of the association would be on consolidating in the European
solar sector, to create a truly reflective membership fit for solar in Europe today. The plan also
highlighted the key importance of advocacy success on the key dossiers already in front of us in
2016: Electricity market design, renewable energy targets for 2030, potentially ending the trade
case and opportunities for solar in energy efficiency and buildings initiatives all coming out of the
European Commission in 2016. As ever the Board and the Team continue to engage with the highest
levels of European policymaking ensuring that your views are well represented on the issues of
importance to you.
In 2016 SolarPower Europe will continue its ethos of customer service orientation and innovation to
make sure we are leading on the issues that matter to our sector today. Already we have instituted a
storage and solar taskforce, aiming to identify the ways in which solar and storage can be promoted
to be mutually beneficial. We will also continue to take forward our projects, with three particularly
looking at new ways to provide finance for solar in Europe – PV Financing, Solar Bankability and
CrowdfundRES. Innovative means will be needed to drive the sector forward as the age of traditional
Feed‑in‑Tariffs (FIT) schemes comes to an end. This work is also backed up by the work we are
undertaking in the Tendering Taskforce, to make sure that tenders better reflect best practice and a
more harmonised approach across Europe.
Enjoy reading the Market Report and Members Directory, we look forward to sharing a hugely
successful 2016 with you!

Executive Summary
2015 was an extraordinarily successful year for solar power worldwide. The capacity
of new global grid‑connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems increased by 25%
year‑on‑year, while solar in European countries grew by around 15%. In total, the world
has so far grid connected an impressive 229 GW of solar capacity.
Globally, for the first time over 50 GW of solar power was connected to the grid in a single year, 25%
up from 40.2 GW in 2014 (These numbers refer to grid‑connected solar and are generally lower than
data for installed capacities).
In 2015, China, Japan, and the USA were the 3 global solar markets, in the same order as the year
before. China was not only again the world’s largest market, adding 15.1 GW capacity, it also took
over the helm for the country with the largest total installed solar capacity, reaching 43 GW by the
end of 2015. This title had been held by Germany previously.
Europe experienced a first growth year in 2015 for the first time since 2010‑11. It added about 8.1
GW of new on‑grid solar power, a 15% increase over the 7 GW that went online in 2014. With nearly
100 GW of solar installed, Europe was still the world’s largest solar continent in 2015.
The European solar sector is in the middle of a transition phase. Last year’s market growth should
not distract from the big solar picture on the Continent: Without the contribution of the UK, with
about 3.7 GW, the European solar market would have remained roughly at the 2014 level.
This report, unlike most others, is based on grid‑connected capacities, as this is a better metric to
characterize the role of solar in energy systems than installed capacities or shipments. While around
50 GW were grid‑connected in 2015 (research status: March 1, 2016), estimates for installed
capacities are as high as 59 GW. The estimates mainly differ because a number of systems were
installed towards year’s end, but not grid‑connected or reported.

1. Solar Market Evolution in
Europe until 2015
2015 marked a strong growth year for the
European solar market. With 8.1 GW newly
grid‑connected solar power, demand grew 15%
year‑on‑year. This is the first upward trend since
2011, when annual grid connection peaked at
22.4 GW, following a strong growth period in the
first decade of the century that was triggered by
Feed‑in-Tariff programs in Germany, Italy, Spain
and a few other countries. On the heels of the
boom cycle and its unsustainable peak, a strong
market consolidation followed, with European
countries progressively transitioning from
Feed‑in-Tariff driven solar investments to more
market‑driven solar installations. Between 2011
and 2014, volumes of new PV grid‑connections
in Europe declined each year, reaching a 5‑year
low, at 7.1 GW, in 2014.
FIGURE 1: EVOLUTION OF EUROPEAN SOLAR PV GRID-CONNECTED CAPACITY 2000 – 2015 FOR
SELECTED COUNTRIES
© SolarPower Europe 2016
The base for Europe’s solar power demand in 2015 stems mainly from 3 countries – UK,
Germany and France. In 2015, these top 3 markets counted for 75% equal to 6 GW, the year
before their share was also 75% but 5.3 GW (see figure 2).
FIGURE 2: CAPACITY ADDITIONS AND SHARES OF TOP 3 EUROPEAN SOLAR MARKETS IN 2014
AND 2015 (%/MW)
The order of the top 3 European markets
has remained the same in 2015: The UK
took again the first place with an estimated 3.7
GW newly online (official number at the time of
writing was 3.5 GW), a number that could be
even higher if all systems installed by the end of
last year were also connected to the grid in time.
Germany stayed on rank 2, installing less than
1.5 GW, significantly missing the official annual
target range of 2.4 to 2.5 GW. The long‑time
European solar leader’s market was impacted
by a new pilot tender scheme for systems
above 1 MW. The third largest European market
remained France, which installed less than 0.9
GW in 2015, driven by tenders granted in the
past and a slightly growing distributed market.
France also commissioned the largest PV power
plant in Europe last year, a 300 MW utility‑scale
system (see figure 3).
All European markets other than the top 2
each added less than 1 GW solar power in
2015. Italy, once a European leader, continues
its transition mode, and installed around 300
MW, that’s nearly 100 MW less than in 2014.
The Italian example shows how difficult a
transition from a high Feed‑in-Tariff (FiT) to a
market‑based environment is, despite the fact
that Italy is blessed with high irradiation, high
retail power prices, and a regulatory framework
that supports solar market development – at
least on paper. Spain, a world market leader
in 2008, had completely disappeared from the
European PV map for many years: After stopping
its FiT scheme, the Spanish Government not
only implemented retroactive changes, it also
hindered the emerging self‑consumption market
with a solar tax and high fines for non‑declared
prosumers. While it is good news that Spain
more than doubled installations to 49 MW in
2015 from 22 MW in 2014, this is way below the
country’s potential. The fate of solar in Spain is
similar in several other former high FiT markets:
Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Greece.
All are only a shadow of what they used to be
when they were installing solar in the GW‑range
per year. The solar markets in Slovakia and
Slovenia have almost completely come to a
halt; the same is true for Ukraine, though for a
different reason.
There is a group of European countries that can
be considered small in absolute numbers, but
that are showing more or less stable demand.
This includes Austria, which grid‑connected
more than 150 MW in 2015, a level that is a little
less than the 159 MW added the year before,
and Switzerland, where additions decreased –
adding 280 MW in 2015, compared to 320 MW
in 2014.
FIGURE 3: RANKING OF EUROPEAN SOLAR POWER MARKETS IN 2015 AND 2014
Several European countries grew their solar
power capacity additions in 2015 compared
to 2014. This includes the UK, Netherlands,
Turkey, Denmark, Romania, Hungary, Sweden,
Poland and Spain (see figure 4).
In a rush to beat the end of the UK’s
attractive incentive schemes in March 2016,
grid‑connections in the British solar market
grew 50% to about 3.7 GW in 2015 from 2.5
GW in 2014.
The strong growth in the Netherlands, estimated
at around 25%, from 300 MW in 2014 to about
400 MW in 2015, was mainly driven by the
country’s net metering scheme. Denmark’s
new additions, which even grew 74% to 180
MW in 2015, were also mainly triggered by net
metering. The country also added a 60 MW
installation, the largest utility‑scale PV power
plant in Scandinavia.
A few emerging European countries also notably
increased demand for solar, even if each of them
added less than 100 MW in 2015. Based on a
combination of tax benefits, other incentives and
self‑consumption, annual demand in the Nordic
country of Sweden grew to an estimated 60 MW
in 2015. The Polish market was also up, but the
political will to push for solar power remains
uncertain; the investments were often financed
using EU funds. A volume of 50 MW in 2015
is very disappointing for such a large country
that, moreover, has basically no installed solar
capacity.

FIGURE 4: ANNUAL CAPACITY GROWTH IN EUROPEAN SOLAR MARKETS IN 2015 (MW / %)
The European solar sector is in the middle
of a transition phase. The 15% market growth
in Europe in 2015 should not distract from the
big solar picture on the Continent: Without the
enormous growth in the UK, the European solar
market would have remained roughly at the
2014 level.
Despite the transition struggle of several of the
advanced European solar markets, total installed
capacities grew from 88.7 GW in 2014 to 96.9
GW by the end of 2015. With Europe approaching
the 100 GW level of solar it maintained its title
as the world’s largest solar continent in 2015.

2. Solar in the European Electricity
System
Solar is now supplying nearly 4% of
electricity demand in Europe. Around 8%
of the Italian power consumption is covered
by solar. The top 3 European solar electricity
consumers – Italy, Greece and Germany – are
producing each more than 7%. With 17 of the
EU’s 28 members having solar contribute to
more than 1% of their power needs, it is clear:
Solar has established itself as an important part
of Europe’s power portfolio.
FIGURE 7: SHARE OF SOLAR ELECTRICITY DEMAND COVERED BY SOLAR PV IN EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES IN 2015
In 2015, solar PV again belonged to the two
power generation sources that added the
largest capacities in Europe. Together with
wind power, solar PV contributed nearly 21 GW,
equal to 74%, of the newly installed total power
generation capacity of over 28 GW in 2015.
Unfortunately, in 2015 over 1.4 GW more coal
power capacity was added than the year before
(3.3 GW) in Europe, while decommissioning
of coal plants stayed at the same level. This
shows that while policies to develop renewables
are delivering, additional efforts are needed in
order to accelerate the retirement of polluting
and inflexible generation, which is currently
prolonging a situation of overcapacities in
Europe.

3. Evolution of European Solar
Policies
In 2015, the European Commission put forward
several initiatives towards a European Energy
Union. After the Energy Union strategy was
adopted in February 2015, which identified 5
key topics (Supply Security, Fully‑integrated
Internal Energy Market, Energy Efficiency,
Climate Action, Research & Innovation in the
field of Climate), the European Commission
(EC) launched a consultative communication
on market design, a working document on best
practices for self‑consumption of renewable
energy, a legislative proposal designed to
improve the performance of the European
Emissions Trading System (ETS) and announced
a revision of the Renewable Energy Directive
for post 2020. The work on these will continue
in 2016 and will affect the development of
solar power in Europe. SolarPower Europe has
published several position papers in response
to the EC’s initiatives.
Several member countries have already
started modifying their regulatory frameworks
in preparation for a new market design.
Germany and UK, for example, will use feed‑in
premiums in addition to a remuneration based
on electricity market prices to support parts of
the solar market. As of 2016, systems between
100 kW and 1 MW in Germany are obliged to
sell excess electricity on the market. In an
electricity market characterized by stagnating
demand, Member States in the European Union
are moving towards tender schemes as a new
way of allocating support. Following France’s
lead to implement tenders for solar power
plants, the UK and Germany launched their first
auctions for solar in 2015 as well. As far as this
recent experience can tell, the design of tenders
is crucial to avoid underbidding strategies as
observed in the UK.
Distributed solar power, which has been
the backbone for the bulk of the solar
sector’s growth in Europe, is moving
towards self‑consumption. Prosumers are on
the rise. For the time being, however, there are
several different policy schemes for distributed
solar generation in Europe. The Netherlands are
using net‑metering for residential installations.
Self‑consumption schemes combined with a
decent Feed‑in-Tariff (or a similar scheme,
feed‑in premium or green certificates) for excess
solar electricity are applied for both residential
and commercial solar systems in Germany and
Austria, for example. Other countries have
implemented net‑billing schemes, such as Italy
and Portugal, but with limited success so far.
3.1 Distributed Solar Power Policies – Obstacles & Solutions
SolarPower
Europe
considers
self‑consumption the best mechanism to
tap distributed solar’s growth potential in
Europe in the rooftop segments, as it helps
European consumers and businesses to control
their energy bills, increases retail competition
and makes consumers active players in the
energy transition. Self‑consumption is also a
key driver for demand‑side flexibility, steering
storage, smart appliances and more flexible
contracts.
The EC’s working document on self‑consumption
of renewable energy from July 2015 clearly
advocates for the application of self‑consumption
and storage, emphasising that there should be
no discriminatory charges for self‑consumption.
But the list of countries that are constraining solar
power self‑consumption one way, or the other is
long. Austria has imposed a tax on self‑consumed
electricity. In Belgium, the region of Flanders
has implemented an additional grid fee for
prosumers rather than revising its net‑metering
scheme. France debates increasing the share of
fixed grid costs and reducing the variable part.
In Germany, commercial installations need to
pay an EEG levy on self‑consumed electricity.
And in Spain self‑consumption has been made
de facto impossible.
These barriers are currently reducing the
economic benefits for prosumers, very often
without consideration for the real amount of
money involved. The mutualisation of the unpaid
taxes and levies represents for instance so little
compared to the budgets of grid operators, that
these measures appear as a way to constrain the
market rather than fairness for non‑prosumers.
SolarPower Europe recommends the following regulatory guidelines to
unlock the self‑consumption potential cost efficiently:
• Member States should ensure that consumers – residential, commercial and industrial – can
freely use the energy they produce while self‑consumed electricity should not be exposed to
taxation
• Self‑consumption should be made easily accessible to all consumers
• Prosumer policies should facilitate the reduction of peaks and unlock demand‑side flexibility
• National regulators should design distribution grid tariffs fit for the energy transition
• Market rules should ensure that the excess power can be injected into the grid and properly
remunerated
3.2 Utility‑Scale Solar: Moving Toward Tenders
Utility‑scale solar is in the middle of a transition
phase in Europe – from a strong growth fuelled
by traditional uncapped feed‑in tariff schemes to
national tenders with clearly defined volumes.
Europe’s top 3 markets have all prepared or are
already using tender schemes for large‑scale
solar power plants. The UK utility‑scale solar
market, which has been powered by renewable
energy obligations (RO), will not be renewed
after March 2016 and is making space for an
auction process, where a Feed‑in-Tariff will
be offered that is based on electricity market
prices with a contract for difference (CFD) to
keep a stable remuneration level. In April 2015,
Germany started a pilot tender project with
three rounds and a total volume of 500 MW for
ground mounted systems up to 10 MW each.
This awarded around 100 bidders, and lead to
the first installations in the same year. France
has been applying tenders for some time for
systems above 250 kW – nearly 70% of all
French installations in 2015 belonged to that
category.
Tender systems are a very good tool for
creating transparency in power generation cost,
especially for a technology where costs continue
to decrease. Despite the burden of the Minimum
Import Price (MIP), which kept prices for modules
from the world’s largest manufacturing country,
China, artificially high, European developers
were able to bid at competitive prices. Without
the MIP, European developers would offer an
even more competitive option for European
society to make the transition to a clean power
economy. Even in Germany, with rather low
irradiation levels, the pilot tender resulted in an
average purchase offer from the regulator to the
successful bidders at 0.092 Euros per kWh in
April 2015, 0.085 EUR in August, and as low as
0.08 EUR per kWh in December.
The following chart (see figure 9) shows how
a 0.08 EUR/kWh solar power purchase price in
Berlin (most of the German bids were awarded
to systems in the state of Brandenburg) could
be translated to other European capitals – with
all other assumptions maintained equal (CAPEX,
OPEX and cost of capital). The simplified model
shows how cost‑efficient solar has become
throughout Europe under the current regulatory
conditions and access to components with
punitive import duties on the world’s largest
supplying nation. In Madrid, it should be possible
to generate solar power at a level of around 0.04
EUR/kWh, which is even less than the world’s
lowest subsidy‑free solar PPA that was awarded
in early 2015 in Dubai.
FIGURE 9: THEORETICAL SOLAR GENERATION COST IN DIFFERENT EUROPEAN CITIES WHEN APPLYING
CONDITIONS OF GERMAN 2015 TENDERS (EUR/kWh)
Unfortunately, several European countries,
where utility‑scale solar provided the base
of the solar growth in the past, have yet to
establish solar tenders after they abandoned
the traditional FIT schemes, such as Spain,
Czech Republic or Bulgaria. In addition, these
countries and a number of others in Europe
have implemented retroactive measures that
have damaged the confidence of investors as
well as the country attractiveness for energy
investments. These measures include FiT cuts
for existing installations or later limitation to
operating hours, like in Spain. In Belgium, the
region of Wallonia has decreased the number of
years of payment for the Green certificates for
existing installations. In consequence, the cost
of capital for financing solar power plants in such
markets is kept at much higher levels than in
stable countries, like Germany, countering the
cost reduction progress of solar technology and
regional advantages.
SolarPower Europe has recently created a
task force on solar tenders that strives to
establish best practice recommendations
in 2016, offering regulators easy access to
information need to design well‑functioning
auction schemes.
4. Europe in the Solar PV World
4.1 Global Solar Market
Global grid‑connected solar increased about
25% to an estimated 50.1 GW in 2015, from
40.2 GW in 2014. This means that solar market
growth significantly gained speed over 2014/15,
when grid‑connected capacity increased less
then 9%.
The main countries driving global solar growth
were again China, Japan and the US. 2015
marked a year that saw new emerging markets
that will add notably to the worldwide demand
for solar power, especially India.
With solar power being very high on China’s
policy agenda, the Asian country connected
15.1 GW of solar power to the grid in 2015 –
that’s a 43% year‑on‑year growth over the 10.6
GW added in 2014. This also represents more
solar power than any other country added in a
single year ever before. However, China’s official
number includes several GW installed in 2014
but commissioned in Q1/2015. Supported by a
Feed‑in-Tariff program, around 90% of the new
systems are large utility‑scale power plants; the
plans to diversify towards distributed solar have
not further progressed in 2015.
Japan is the only other worldwide market with
grid‑connections in the 2‑digit GW scale. It
added 10 GW in 2015. While still backed by one
of the world’s highest Feed‑in-Tariffs, Japanese
solar demand hardly grew from the 9.7 GW
added in 2014.
The US kept its third rank, increasing
grid‑connected capacity by 12% to 7.3 GW in
2015 from 6.5 GW in 2014. Driven by a 30%
Investment Tax Credit (ITC), again over half of
the new installations were utility‑scale power
plants. Although the other incentive tool,
net‑metering, is increasingly being challenged
by utilities and regulators, the annual share of
residential solar increased by nearly 70% to
over 2 GW. The success of residential solar is
also a product of innovative business models,
such as third party ownership, which allows
home‑owners to add solar to their roof without
upfront investments.
FIGURE 10: EVOLUTION OF GLOBAL SOLAR PV ANNUAL GRID-CONNECTED CAPACITY 2000 – 2015
Three European countries were ranked among
the global top 10 in 2015: The UK ranked fourth,
Germany was ranked sixth, and France landed
at the 10th spot.
For the first time, India belonged to the top 5
solar markets in the world in 2015. It strongly
upped its total solar power target to 100 GW
by 2022, and created the International Solar
Alliance, a group of around 140 countries that
target universal access to clean energy, at
COP21. The 2 GW of grid connected PV in 2015
is just the beginning of the Indian solar boom.
only around 200 MW in 2015, the low cost of
solar power has enticed several newcomers
to implement this technology as well. Algeria
added 270 MW, and Egypt installed a few utility
scale PV plants, after announcing an ambitious
program targeting 2.3 GW PV by 2017.
In the pacific rim, Australia remained a secure
and stable market for solar power demand
in 2015 – it added around 900 MW. While the
residential market shows first signs of saturation,
the market starts to develop toward commercial
and industrial applications.
While the African on‑grid market has been
dominated by South Africa, which added
4.2 Europe & Rest of the World
Europe’s share among global solar power
markets continues to decline. In 2015, it
represented around 16% of the annual global
solar market, in 2013 it was almost double, at
29%. Last year, 2 countries, China and Japan,
added more solar than the entire European
Continent. In 2016, it could be even 4 (China,
Japan, USA, India).
FIGURE 11: EVOLUTION OF ANNUAL EUROPEAN SOLAR PV GRID-CONNECTION SHARES COMPARED TO OTHER
REGIONS FROM 2010 – 2015
China also became the new number one in
cumulative capacity additions in 2015. At 43 GW,
it sent long‑time leader Germany to the second
rank (with close to 40 GW). Japan was ranked
third, reaching around 33 GW, ahead of the USA
with around 25 GW. With close to 230 GW, the
world’s total grid‑connected solar capacity has
increased by almost 30% in one single year.
FIGURE 12: EVOLUTION OF TOTAL EUROPEAN SOLAR PV GRID-CONNECTED CAPACITY COMPARED TO TOTAL
CAPACITIES IN REST OF WORLD 2010 – 2015
With nearly 100 GW of solar power connected
2015. The share has been constantly decreasing
to the grid in 2015, Europe represented 42%
since 2011 (see figure 12). In 2014, Europe still
of the total global PV capacity at the end of
owned 50% of the global on‑grid solar capacity.
5. Outlook
Nearly 100 GW of solar grid‑connected solar systems in Europe at the end of 2015 is a truly
impressive number. The 15% growth last year doesn’t mean a turnaround for the European solar
sector after three years of decline. While the once leading European markets are still in a transition
phase, the sector’s growth in 2015 is based on the attractive solar incentive program in the UK. In
2016, solar in Europe will again be characterized by large solar volumes supported by the British
solar incentive scheme, but it is unlikely that the final three months of the program will suffice to
bring demand for solar to the 2015 level. However, 5 trends will shape solar in Europe in 2016:
1.
Solar Battery energy storage is evolving
into a standard product that is offered
in combination with new solar systems,
offering a solution for ancillary services
and other benefits to grid operators and an
attractive tool for prosumers.
2.
Self‑consumption is becoming the main
incentive for distributed solar in Europe;
with solar power prices being much lower
than retail power prices in several countries.
3.
Tenders are being established in Europe as
the dominant scheme for large‑scale solar
plants, transparently showing how low solar
power prices continue to decrease.
4.
New players are becoming very active
in solar that have not played a role in
the past. This includes traditional utilities
or their off‑springs (like E.on) that are
actively moving into the space, addressing
everything from utility‑scale plants to
residential solar. Big retail groups (like
IKEA) are expanding into solar.
5.
Europe continues to lose market share
compared to both leading and emerging
solar markets in Asia and America.
The European Commission under its President Jean Claude Juncker has stated the ambitious goal to
be the world leader in renewables. While Europe has indeed been the cradle of the global success
story of solar power, others have taken over the lead for a technology, that is now able to generate
power at a cost lower than most fossil fuels, off‑shore wind, and quickly approaching onshore wind.
The key to the next solar growth cycle in Europe, however, is in the hand of policy makers
– taxes or other obstacles will strongly limit self‑consumption, the crucial mechanism to empower
prosumers. Tenders need to be restricted to large ground‑mounted PV power plants, organized
transparently and regularly, and at volumes that are large enough to keep administration cost for
participants as low as possible. The trade measures in place on solar modules and cells imported
from China also need to be lifted to stimulate demand in the European market.
But importantly, driving down technology costs is not enough. The market design and the future
RES Directive currently being discussed in Brussels in 2016/17 will be key to make solar a major
contributor to Europe’s power mix – and the Continent a future global leader in solar again.
