Introduction. Photovoltaic (PV) deployments have seen a significant increase in the last decade, from ∼10 GW in 2010 to over 750 GW by the end of 2020 as reported by REN21 [1], and 900 GW by the end of 2021 [2]. This has been realized mainly through technological advancements and economies of scale in PV manufacturing.
