The top ten countries with new photovoltaic installations in 2020 are: China, the United States, Vietnam, Japan, Germany, India, Australia, South Korea, Brazil and the Netherlands. In the past few years, several countries with large installed capacity, including France, Mexico, and Turkey, have noticeably weakened their development momentum and have already withdrawn from the top ten position.

It should be noted that the installed capacity data of some countries are converted from AC-side power to DC-side figures, which may result in differences between the official photovoltaic data of several countries such as Spain, Japan, or India and the above statistics.
