The horses are always free to circulatethroughout the field, including open field areas, betweenthe PV arrays and near the electrical transformers.No incidents or damage have been registered so far;however, it is paramount to provide an environmentwhere the horses feel calm.

Indeed, energy global photovoltaiccapacity grew to 1.6 TW from 1.2 TW in 2022, with 446 GWpof new PV systems commissioned. China led with a record235 GW of new installations, contributing over 60% to globalcapacity. Module prices dropped significantly due to oversupply,despite previous concerns about material and transport costs.This maintained the competitiveness of PV, even as electricityprices decreased after peaking in 2022.PV technology is now considered as a real game changerof energy balance in the World. For instance, the number ofcountries having a theoretical contribution of PV to electricityconsumption over 10% doubled in 2023 to 18. As PV penetrationcontinues its rapid global increase, the challenges to beovercome are increasingly non-technical, including necessaryregulatory reform. Policy changes aimed at facilitating permittingand administrative procedures have been implemented by anincreasing number of countries, whilst indirect support, suchas building regulations, mandatory solar requirements, or localmanufacturing incentives continues to be adopted.Among PVPS, we see a wide spectrum of new and innovativeapplications for PV, which present an inspiring image of how thefuture power landscape will be configured. Now that hundredsof GWp are planned, applications beyond ground and classicalroof-top systems will become progressively more and morepresent and for some of them even possibly mainstream.Exciting developments are taking place in the areas of activepower management, cost competitive building-integrated PV,floating PV and agrivoltaics.Accordingly within PVPS, new activities are being developed,searching to be always one step in advance, with the focusshifting toward PV applications and sector coupling. Regardingagrivoltaics, a new PVPS Action Group will launch in mid-2024to run a series of stakeholder workshops and assess the globaltrends in agrivoltaics. In January 2025, a renewed PVPS Taskwill kick off work on the grid integration of PV. A third new PVPSactivity is under development to collaborate with the IEA’s Windand Hydrogen technology collaboration programmes on the topicof energy hubs and green hydrogen. Also the existing PVPS Tasksgo from strength to strength, attracting new Experts, developingnew work plans and taking on fresh challenging topics. The scopeof the existing tasks covers PV markets, sustainability aspects,system reliability & performance, BIPV, VIPV, solar resource, gridintegration and off-grid systems.2024 will be a very busy yearforour programme,withover 50 new PVPS reportsexpected to be published!

Look out forour mid-monthly column in the ‘Opinions & Analysis’ section ofPV Magazine and visit us at our booth at the 41st EU-PVSECexhibition in Vienna or the PVSEC-35 in Numazu.I am honoured to chair this excellent international researchprogramme at such an important and exciting time for the globalPV sector. Our Experts, our Task Managers and our ExecutiveCommittee continue to work hard to maximise our impact insupporting PV development. In this Annual Report, we providean overview of the recent work of our programme, as well asinsights into the status of the PV sectors within our membercountries.Enjoy your reading!Daniel MugnierApril 2024ChairMESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR 4 TABLE OF CONTENTSCHAIR’S MESSAGE4PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SYSTEMS PROGRAMME6IEA PVPS MISSION7IEA PVPS OBJECTIVES7IEA PVPS CURRENT TERM 2023 – 20287NEW CONTENT7TASK STATUS REPORTS9TASK 1 – STRATEGIC PV ANALYSIS & OUTREACH9TASK 1 - HIGHLIGHT - TRENDS IN PVAPPLICATIONS 202311TASK 12 – PV SUSTAINABILITY ACTIVITIES12TASK 12 – HIGHLIGHT - ENVIRON
