QUARTERLY SOLAR PV INSTALLATIONS

QUARTERLY SOLAR PV INSTALLATIONS

The total installed capacity of grid-connected Solar PV systems was 443.6 MWp as of the end of 1Q 2021. This was a 3.7% (16 MWp) increase from the preceding quarter, attributed to 141 new installations in 1Q 2021. There was a lower quarter-on-quarter Solar growth in Q1 2021 (3.7%) as compared to Q4 2020 (7.5%). There is a consistent installation of Solar capacity even during the covid-19 situation, the installations have slowed down during the same period, but it’s ramping up post-pandemic. Most of the installations are coming from the rooftop segment due to land constraints, even the largest Solar PV project comes from floating Solar at the Tengeh Reservoir of 60 MWp.
