6 FAQs about [Solar power generation development report]

How will solar PV & wind impact global electricity generation?

The share of solar PV and wind in global electricity generation is forecast to double to 25% in 2028 in our main case. This rapid expansion in the next five years will have implications for power systems worldwide.

Will solar power grow in 2026?

In 2026, solar PV surpasses nuclear electricity generation. In 2028, solar PV surpasses wind electricity generation. Over the forecast period, potential renewable electricity generation growth exceeds global demand growth, indicating a slow decline in coal-based generation while natural gas remains stable.

How much energy does solar PV generate in 2022?

In 2022, solar PV generated approximately 50% of the total renewable electricity production from new production assets despite being two thirds of new capacity. The difference between capacity and generation is due to the different capacity factors of renewable technologies.

Are solar photovoltaic power plants the future of power generation?

Although it currently represents a small percentage of global power generation, installations of solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants are growing rapidly for both utility-scale and distributed power generation applications.

How has solar PV technology changed in 2022?

It is seen that the global weighted-average LCOE of solar PV technology reduced by about 89 % from 0.445 USD/kWh in 2010 to 0.049 USD/kWh in 2022. It is noticeable that the LCOE of PV technology has dropped into the range of fossil fuel electricity costs since 2014.

Will solar power increase global renewable power capacity by 2030?

Globally, solar PV alone accounted for three-quarters of renewable capacity additions worldwide. Prior to the COP28 climate change conference in Dubai, the International Energy Agency (IEA) urged governments to support five pillars for action by 2030, among them the goal of tripling global renewable power capacity.
