Shortly before it rocked the PV world, statistics from China showed that at 9.65 GW, Q1 installations were up significantly on 2016 and 2017, which saw new capacities of 7.14 and 7.2 GW, respectively. Confirming predictions that installs would veer away from utility-scale, which until now had been the dominant sector, the quarter saw a massive increase in DG: 1.97 GW versus 7.68 GW. In percentage terms, this represented an overall increase of 22% YoY, while utility saw a 64% decrease, and DG a massive 217% increase.

The Middle East continues its slow but steady solar march, with Tunisia unveiling a 500 MW tender in May. The plan is to build a 200 MW solar plant in the province of Tatouine, the Sahara Desert, two 100 MW PV facilities in the provinces of Kaiouran and Gafsca, and two more 50 MW solar parks in the provinces of Sidi Bouzid and Tozeur. The launch of the tender came a week after the closing of a 70 MW solar tender, which was announced a year previously.
