Again I repeat, China's Solar Debacle.
It doesn't matter that solar is 0.1% of installed capacity. Their push for solar started only a few years ago, and they have 5 more years to reach their stated goal of 100 GW by 2020.
Beijing and Zurich, 23 January 2014 Chinas solar developers installed a record 12GW of photovoltaic projects in 2013, and a booming market at the very end of the year may even have pushed installations up to 14GW. No country has ever added more than 8GW of solar power in a single year prior to 2013, and Chinas record outstripped even the most optimistic forecasts of 12 months ago.

J.P. Morgan is bullish on solar outlook, saying PV solar demand could grow more than 20% this year.
Demand in developing markets seems to be accelerating, according to analysts Paul Coster, Mark Strouse and Paul J Chung:
China is emerging as the leading end-market for PV solar owing to ongoing need for clean energy.
