Global photovoltaic capacity is expected to increase by nearly 50 GW, fueled mainly by growth in China, Japan, the U.S. and some key emerging markets, according to a report by the PV Market Alliance (PVMA).
European markets are expected to stabilize after the steep decline since 2011, the report says, while India's potential will start to impact the global market.
