Europe recently reached an important solar energy milestone,
. . . 100 gigawatts (GW) of installed,
. . . Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power.

Rising from less than:
. . . . . . . . 3 GW in 2005, to
. . . . . . 100 GW in 2016.

This achievement is primarily due to 2 factors:
. . . . . . 80% reduction in costs, and
. . . . . . Regulatory frameworks supportive of solar,
. . . as countries have acted to meet the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive.
