Solar electricity is growing rapidly, but can it really dominate the global energy system? Here is what it will take for us to power the planet on sunshine
Solar energy can be harnessed two primary ways: photovoltaics (PVs) are semiconductors that generate electricity directly from sunlight, while solar thermal technologies use sunlight to heat water for
Find up-to-date statistics and facts on the global solar photovoltaic industry.
The IEA expects global PV module generation to increase by 1,800 TWh per year between 2025 and 2027, causing solar to become the second-largest renewable energy source after
In our STEO forecast, utility-scale solar is the fastest-growing source of electricity generation in the United States, increasing from 290 BkWh in 2025 to 424 BkWh by 2027. Almost 70
Solar remains the third largest renewable electricity technology behind hydropower and wind — but it accounted for just 4.5% of total global electricity generation in 2022. To meet net-zero
These data hammer the same powerful message: solar photovoltaic (PV) has become the new cornerstone of the global power sector. In all areas: electricity generation growth, installed
Solar photovoltaic (PV) uses electronic devices, also called solar cells, to convert sunlight directly into electricity. It is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies and is playing an
Solar PV will account for around 80% of the global increase in renewable power capacity over the next five years – driven by low costs and faster permitting timeframes – followed by wind,
