Approximately 33.3 GWth of new solar thermal capacity was commissioned in 2018, increasing total global capacity by 2 % to around 480 GWth. China accounted for about 74 % of global additions, followed by Turkey, Brazil and the United States. While China’s gross additions declined for the fifth consecutive year, the majority of the largest solar heating and cooling markets outside of China saw demand increase for the first time since 2015. The chart shows the gross additions in GWth in 2019 for the 20 largest markets.
