At present, the overall recovery of the global economy is full of uncertainty. In the second quarter of this year, global venture capital investment fell 49% year-on-year. However, the financial capital market's judgment on the solar industry is headwind, and it is still full of confidence. From January to June, the global solar industry received a total of $18.5 billion in financing, an increase of 54% over the same period last year.
A few days ago, clean energy consulting firm Macomb Capital released a report on the investment situation of the global solar industry in the first half of the year. Data show that from January to June, the global solar industry received a total of $18.5 billion in financing, an increase of 54% from $12 billion in the same period last year. Among them, venture capital investment in solar energy companies in the financial capital market and debt financing of solar energy companies in the open market are the main ways.
It is worth noting that in the first half of the year, the global venture capital bear market continued. A number of investment institutions said that the global venture capital environment this year is still extremely challenging, hitting a new low in the second quarter of this year, and valuations across the venture capital sector have continued to decline. Against this backdrop, the solar industry is one of the few areas that can attract investment.
