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%.
It examines the current state of solar power and related academic solar energy research in different countries, aiming to provide valuable guidance for researchers, designers, and policymakers interested in incorporating solar energy into their nation's electricity generation.
Further, the report captures the market trends covering solar infrastructure and electricity access rates in ISA Member countries. Global investment in renewables reached USD 0.5 Tn in 2022 due to the global rise in solar PV installations. Solar PV dominated investment in 2022, accounting for 64% of the renewable energy investment.
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).
Consequently, in seven countries (Djibouti and Lesotho in Africa; Bhutan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan in Asia; and Paraguay in South America), about 23.3%, there is solar energy research; however, there is still no observable solar energy development in these seven regions.
Twenty-three countries of the mentioned 30 countries, about 76.7%, have no reported academic solar energy research yet.
