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 , .
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 .
Solar resources largely exceed global energy demand 5, and several observers expect PV technology to reach a dominant role by mid-century in the electricity sector, with a global installed capacity of more than 20 TW 6, 7, 8. Others anticipate limited prospects for PV expansion due to land use constraints or grid flexibility 9, 10.
As the global focus on combating climate change intensifies, renewable energy sources are gaining significant prominence, with solar power expected to play a pivotal role. The International Energy Agency (IEA) anticipates that solar energy will emerge as the largest source of electricity worldwide by the year 2050.
These countries have made substantial investments in solar infrastructure, resulting in widespread installations and well-established markets. The future of solar energy in developed nations is promising, with a focus on further enhancing efficiency, storage capabilities, and grid integration [62, 63].
By embracing solar power, both types of economies can contribute to a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come. According to Renewables 2022 Global Status Report, China achieved a significant milestone in 2021 by becoming the first nation to exceed an installed capacity of 1 terawatt (TW) in renewable energy .
