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.
Introduction Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is indispensable for realizing a global low-carbon energy system and, eventually, carbon neutrality. Benefiting from the technological developments in the PV industry, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of PV energy has been reduced by 85% over the past decade .
By 2050 solar PV would represent the second-largest power generation source, just behind wind power and lead the way for the transformation of the global electricity sector. Solar PV would generate a quarter (25%) of total electricity needs globally, becoming one of prominent generations source by 2050.
While utility-scale projects still predominate in 2050, the REmap analysis expects distributed solar PV installations to grow more rapidly, driven by policies and supportive measures, as well as consumer engagement in the clean energy transformation.
By 2025, agrivoltaics could become a common method for sustainable energy and food production, especially in areas with land and water constraints, completely changing the future of solar energy in the farming sector. Agrivoltaics offers numerous benefits.
