Solar PV is also of great benefit to global GDP and job creation and has an increasing beneficial impact on electricity price. Solar PV electricity can be cheaper than other sources, but the spot market price for electricity continues to be high across Europe owing to high fuel prices for most generators.
Consulting firm InfoLink has predicted a small annual rise in global solar demand in 2025, but has noted there could actually be a retreat. Most observers expect PV oversupply to continue in 2025, with numerous bankruptcies among solar distributors and installers, while manufacturers are generally managing to hold on.
