2020年2月18日,肯尼亚内罗毕讯-世界银行集团(WBG)与全球离网太阳能协会(GOGLA)的一份新报告指出：离网太阳能产业已经成长为年价值17.5亿美元的市场,为4.2亿用户提供照明和能源服务，并将保持坚实的增长曲线。
NAIROBI, Feb. 18, 2020 – The off-grid solar industry has grown into a $1.75 billion annual market, providing lighting and other energy services to 420 million users and remains on a solid growth curve, a new World Bank Group and GOGLA report shows.
《2020年离网太阳能市场趋势报告》认为，在过去的10年中，离网太阳能产业取得了巨大的进步。自2017年以来，离网太阳能产业的收入继续快速增长，年增长为30%。迄今为止，全球已售出超过1.8亿个（套）离网太阳能单元；自2012年以来，该行业吸引投资达15亿美元。
The 2020 Off-Grid Solar Market Trends Report finds that the industry has made tremendous strides in the past decade. Since 2017, revenues from the off-grid solar industry continue to rapidly grow, increasing by 30 percent annually. To date, more than 180 million off-grid solar units have been sold worldwide and the sector saw $1.5 billion in investments since 2012.
由于全球至今仍有8.4亿人无法获得电力，离网太阳能产业的增长对于实现到2030年普及负担得起、可靠、可持续和现代能源的可持续发展目标至关重要。
With 840 million people still lacking access to electricity, the growth of the off-grid solar industry is critical to meeting the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG7) for universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy by 2030.
“离网太阳能产业有助于实现普遍用电”，世界银行能源与采掘业全球总监、基础设施非洲区域总监里卡多·普利蒂说（Riccardo Puliti）。“我们正在加大对客户国家的支持力度，帮助他们通过创新和财政上可持续的解决方案利用这一潜力”，他补充到。
“The off-grid solar industry is instrumental for achieving universal electricity access,” said Riccardo Puliti, Global Director, Energy and Extractive Industries and Regional Director, Infrastructure, Africa, at the World Bank. “We are scaling up our support to client countries by helping them leverage this potential through innovative and financially sustainable solutions,” he added.
根据该报告，该行业将需要额外增加高达110亿美元的融资；更具体地说，该行业需要以13%的加速度增长，向企业提供高达77亿美元的外部投资，以及高达34亿美元的公共资金，以弥合支付能力差距。
According to the report, the sector would need an additional boost of up to $11 billion in financing. More specifically, the sector would need to grow at an accelerated rate of 13 percent, with up to $7.7 billion in external investment to companies and up to $3.4 billion of public funding to bridge the affordability gap.
国际金融公司全球金融机构局高级主管保罗德博勒（Paulo de Bolle）表示：“只有规模化挤占商业金融，我们才能实现到2030年实现普及的目标”，“我们渴望在更成熟的离网市场与当地银行合作，在这些市场通过商业债务推动下一阶段的市场增长。”
“Only by crowding in commercial finance at scale can we reach the target of achieving universal access by 2030,” said Paulo de Bolle, Sr Director, Global Financial Institutions Group for IFC. “We are eager to work with our local bank partners in the more mature off-grid markets where commercial debt can drive the next stage of market growth.”
趋势表明，随着已有市场变得更加饱和，公司正在进入新的地区和服务不足的市场。这些公司也正在转向更大、利润率更高的太阳能家庭系统销售，以应对消费者不断增长地对家电和备用系统的需求。
Trends demonstrate that companies are moving into new geographies and underserved markets as established markets become more saturated. These companies are also shifting towards larger, higher-margin solar home system sales in response to growing consumer demand for appliances and back-up systems.
“这份报告再次证实了离网太阳能已经取得的重大影响，以及未来仍将面临的巨大机遇”， GOGLA执行董事Koen Peters表示，“市场趋势报告分享了我们的立场和下一步的发展方向。”
“This report is another confirmation of the significant impact off-grid solar has already achieved, and the massive opportunity that remains going forward,” said Koen Peters, Executive Director of GOGLA. “The Market Trends Report shares details on where we stand, and where we should be heading next.”
