The Future of Solar Energy considers only the two widely recognized classes of technologies for converting solar energy into electricity — photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP), sometimes called solar thermal) — in their current and plausible future forms.
Despite setbacks, there is reason to believe that the future of solar PV employment is nonetheless bright, given the urgency for more ambitious climate and energy transition policies, as well as the expectation that countries are learning important lessons on the design and coherence of policies.
The Solar Futures Study finds that solar energy could power about 14% of transportation end uses by 2050. Solar PV couples well to electric vehicle (EV) charging: Both use direct-current electricity, which avoids efficiency losses in conversion to alternating-current electricity—a much as 26% lost, in some cases.
Changes across the wider energy system, like the increased electrification of buildings and vehicles, emergence of clean fuels, and new commitments to both equitability and a more circular, sustainable economy, will shape the future of solar energy.
The market for solar inverters is currently in a growth phase, the rising demand for power together and various global initiatives to encourage the implementation of renewable smart grids being the main drivers behind this development.
