A Detailed Guide To The Solar Project Development Process
Discover the solar project development process, uncover financing options, and gain valuable insights for a successful project in this comprehensive guide.
There you have it, a guide to the solar project development process. While the development process can be complex, involving various assessments, design and engineering, permitting and financing, construction, and ongoing maintenance, the benefits of these projects are numerous.
Almost 70 gigawatts (GW) of new solar generating capacity projects are scheduled to come online in 2026 and 2027, which represents a 49% increase in U.S. solar operating capacity compared with the end of 2025. Much of the utility-scale solar generation capacity additions will come online in Texas.
“Solar PV is on course to account for some 80% of the increase in the world's renewable capacity over the next five years. In addition to growth in established markets, solar is set to surge in economies such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and several Southeast Asian countries.
In the first six months of 2025, the world added 380 GW of new solar capacity — 64% higher than during the same period in 2024, when 232 GW were installed. In 2024, it took until September for global solar capacity additions to surpass 350 GW, while in 2025, the milestone was reached in June.
