Across all regions, developing a skilled workforce and setting ambitious solar and storage targets are essential tasks. In these times of political uncertainty, low-cost solar power could turn into
Clean energy continues to dominate new power capacity. For example, in 2024, more than 90% of all new electricity capacity worldwide came from renewable sources such as solar, wind,
The IEA PVPS Trends in Photovoltaic Applications 2025 report provides comprehensive data and analysis on global PV deployment, technology, and market evolution from 1992 to 2024.
Amid rising global energy demands and heightened environmental concerns, the solar power market is poised for substantial growth through 2025.
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
China and the US may be reducing policy support for the solar power sector, but Goldman Sachs Research still expects rapid growth, with solar installations set to rise by 57% between 2024
Record renewables growth led by solar helped push clean power past 40% of global electricity in 2024, but heatwave-related demand spikes led to a small increase in fossil generation.
