World solar photovoltaic (PV) market
installations reached a record high of 1,500
Megawatts (MW) in 2005.
Germany 57 of the world market. This is a
level eight times the size of the United States

For the Olympic Summer Games in Beijing in 2008 a
concept of Green Olympics has been developed. A
30 KWp grid-connected pilot plant will consist of
the outer walls of the Olympic Stadium and gyms
with solar cells. The street lights in the
Olympic Village will be solar powered. It is
expected that this event will further accelerate
the implementation of solar photovoltaics in
China.

Chinas current target for wind development is
40,000 MW by 2020. A capacity of 40,000 MW of
wind power can generate electricity enough to
meet the annual consumption of Beijing and Hong
Kong combined or to meet the needs of around 60
million Chinese homes .
