The share of electricity consumed in industry and buildings would double. In transport, it would increase from just 1% today to over 40% by 2050 (IRENA, 2019a). Solar, along with wind energy, would lead the way in the transformation of the global electricity sector.
Solar energy potential with specific technologies – including solar PV, floating solar PV, CSP, PV2heat, solar thermal, district solar heating and electric heat pumps – is properly estimated. In addition to mega-scale solar projects, small- to medium-scale solar projects including rooftop solar PV become attractive to developers and consumers thanks to …
A total of 30.4 GW dc of new utility PV projects were announced in 2019, bringing the contracted utility PV pipeline to a record high of 48.1 GW dc. Non-residential PV declined slightly in 2019 with 2 GW dc installed, as policy shifts in states including California, Massachusetts and Minnesota continue to impact growth.
This guide for policy makers addresses all solar technologies – solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity, concentrating solar power (CSP, or solar thermal electricity [STE]), and solar heating and cooling (SHC).
