The Future of Solar Energy considers only the two widely recognized classes of technologies for converting solar energy into electricity — photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP), sometimes called solar thermal) — in their current and plausible future forms.
Through a detailed and systematic literature survey, the present review study summarizes the world solar energy status, including concentrating solar power and solar PV power, along with published solar energy potential assessment articles for 235 countries and territories as the first step toward developing solar energy in these regions.
The utilization of renewable energy as a future energy resource is drawing significant attention worldwide. The contribution of solar energy (including concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar photovoltaic (PV) power) to global electricity production, as one form of renewable energy sources, is generally still low, at 3.6%.
The paper outlines the status of solar technology developments as covered in the World Solar Technology Report. A steady trend in technology improvements is observed, with crystalline solar PV being the dominant technology in the market.
The evolution of the solar PV industry so far has been remarkable, with several milestones achieved in recent years in terms of installations (including off-grid), cost reductions and technological advancements, as well as establishment of key solar energy associations (Figure 5).
U.S. PV Deployment The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that the United States installed 15.6 GW ac of solar capacity in in the first quarter (Q1)/second quarter (Q2) of 2024 (the Solar Energy Industries Association reported 21.4 GW dc)—a 55% increase from the record achieved in Q1/Q2 2023.
