2024 Global Solar Report
With the rapid growth in the deployment of solar, the industry has continued to see a rise in underperformance. Raptor Maps' analysis of more than 125GW has shown that equipment fault-related underperformance has increased by almost 180% since 2019, resulting in up to $4.6 billion of potential annual revenue loss for the industry in 2023. Our report details trends and drivers of such underperformance, derived from our industry-leading dataset. The 2025 Global Solar Report will be released in Feb. 2025, stay tuned!
