Global solar energy capacity has skyrocketed over the last decade:
– 228 gigawatts in 2015, providing 1% of the world’s electricity
– 759 GW in 2020, or roughly 3% of global energy demand
– 2,919 GW in 2025, according to estimates — solar now supplies about 10% of the world’s energy, more than nuclear at 9%
The energy source is still growing exponentially, and if it continues at current rates, global capacity could hit 9,000 GW by 2030 — enough to meet more than 20% of the world’s energy demand.

After 10-15 years what they will do with solar panel parts.

„Solar panel go brrrrrrrrr, bruh sit down.“

yeah, cool, but look at electric cars. they also skyrocketed but then sorta flatlined after. exponential growth cannot continue just like that indefinitely

Great, the strait of Hormuz crisis shows we need to diversify our energy sources. I’m looking forward to my state NJ allowing plug in solar
