Future prospects of solar technology Solar energy is one of the best options to meet future energy demand since it is superior in terms of availability, cost effectiveness, accessibility, capacity, and efficiency compared to other renewable energy sources , .
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), renewable capacity is projected to meet 35% of global power generation by 2025, marking an unprecedented transformation in the global energy sector. Solar power is one of the leaders of this transition, witnessing exponential growth over the past decade.
While the contribution of solar energy to global electricity production remains generally low at 3.6%, it has firmly established itself among other renewable energy technologies, comprising nearly 31% of the total installed renewable energy capacity in 2022 (IRENA, 2023).
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%.
This projection far exceeds any previous expectations. In 2022, the International Energy Agency’s predicted that solar energy would account for a mere 25% of electricity production by 2050. A solar power plant in Qinghai Province, China. lightrain/Shutterstock
In contrast, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the United States has estimated that the solar energy potential within the USA is capable enough to provide 400 zettawatt-hours annually (ZWh) , hugely exceeding the current electrical generation capacity (22,813 terawatt-hours (TWh) ).
