Five Asian countries now at the top of global solar power rankings

BATHINDA: Asian countries now make up five of the top ten solar-powered economies after a decade of growth and expanding their solar capacity. A decade ago European countries dominated the top of the solar ranking.
The new analysis has been made by electricity think tank Ember, which looked at how total solar power capacity has changed over the last 10 years in countries across the world. Ember is an independent climate and energy think tank that produces cutting-edge research and high impact, policies that aim to accelerate the global transition from coal to clean electricity.
The analysis highlights how much solar capacity has changed over the last 11 years, with countries such as China, India, Viet Nam and South Korea able to slide into the top 10 globally. In 2010, India ranked 22nd globally while Viet Nam ranked 196th.
