(PDF) Solar Photovoltaic Industry in Korea: Current
In this review, the current status of photovoltaic power generation is reviewed and, based on this, the direction for Korea''s photovoltaic policy is suggested.
As of March this year, the country's cumulative solar capacity was estimated at 28.15 GW. South Korea deployed over 3.1 GW of solar last year, according to provisional figures published by the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO). The utility's figures are considered provisional as they currently exclude self-consumption installations.
Solar PV capacity accounted for 16.4% of total power plant installations globally in 2023, according to GlobalData, with total recorded solar PV capacity of 1,496GW. This is expected to contribute 33.7% by the end of 2030 with capacity of installations aggregating up to 4,822GW. Of the total global solar PV capacity, 1.82% is in South Korea.
To put the figures in a wider context, South Korea deployed almost 3.7 GW of solar across both categories in 2023, according to figures from KEPCO, with almost 2.8 GW based on power generation for sale and just under 900 MW of self-consumption installations.
South Korea's limited land area has encouraged the development and export of advanced solar panels that are space-efficient, making it home to strong contenders in the global solar panel market, such as Hanwha Solutions and OCI. Log in or register to access full data.
