The renaissance of the Spanish market has contributed substantially to last year’s growth. In 2018, Turkey witnessed an uptick in solar PV landing amongst the top three hottest markets. Although the country now finds itself at a turning point with the former policies coming to a halt, the country is still forecasted to rank eighth globally with respect to operational PV capacity, where 13.2 GW of solar could be installed by the end of 2020. The Netherlands is another budding market. According to IHS Markit, the Dutch solar PV market is expected to make great strides as the third fastest growing European market, after Spain and France, in the coming year.
