4 FAQs about Seeing Solar Power Generation Abroad

Is solar energy a future energy resource?

The utilization of renewable energy as a future energy resource is drawing significant attention worldwide. The contribution of solar energy (including concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar photovoltaic (PV) power) to global electricity production, as one form of renewable energy sources, is generally still low, at 3.6%.

How has solar impacted global power generation?

Regarding global power generation, solar nearly doubled its share over the past 3 years, growing by 1.3 percentage points only last year to a 7% share in the world's electricity mix. This growth continued to drive renewable penetration and pushed additions of conventional electricity sources to a new low.

How many countries have not engaged in solar energy development?

Finally, within the group of 235 countries, it's seen that 30 nations, comprising around 12.8% of the total, have yet to engage in solar energy development. These 30 countries collectively have a population of 44 million. Out of these 30 countries, 23 (approximately 76.7%) have not documented any academic research in the field of solar energy.

What is the contribution of solar energy to global electricity production?

While the contribution of solar energy to global electricity production remains generally low at 3.6%, it has firmly established itself among other renewable energy technologies, comprising nearly 31% of the total installed renewable energy capacity in 2022 (IRENA, 2023).
