100 GW of large-scale solar projects have been acquired since 2010
January 11, 2019 -- Mercom Capital Group, llc, a global clean energy communications and consulting firm, has released its annual report on funding and merger and acquisition (M&A) activity for the 2018 solar sector.
Global corporate funding into the solar sector, including venture capital and private equity (VC), debt financing, and public market financing totaled $9.7 billion (B) compared to the $12.8B raised in 2017.
'2018 was a year filled with uncertainties which started with Section 201 tariffs followed by an announcement from China that it was capping installations and reducing its feed-in-tariff. More bad news came from India which imposed safeguard duties on imports. Uncertainty stemming from the three largest solar markets in the world was reflected in equities of publicly-traded solar companies as well as fundraising activity during the year,” commented Raj Prabhu, CEO of Mercom Capital Group.
