In Europe, solar PV installations generally slowed down in the fourth quarter of 2012, but the US saw installations surge.

According to figures gathered by Digitimes Research, Germany added 1.4GW of new solar installations in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the accumulated new installations for 2012 were 7.6GW. The market is expected to grow steadily and in 2013, the new installation target is set at 4-4.5GW.
