Renewable energy sources have now surpassed coal in global installed power capacity. According to International Energy, despite rising costs for key materials used to make solar panels and wind turbines, additions of new renewable power rose to 290 gigawatts (GW) in 2021, surpassing the previous all-time high set in 2020.
Also, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL) in the United States, the quantity of energy emitted by sunshine in one hour could meet the world's energy needs for an entire year. Solar energy has been one of the world's fastest-growing new energy sources.
According to a U.S Department of Energy assessment, solar energy can provide 40 percent of the United States’ electricity by 2035 and 45 percent by 2050. Solar energy may provide enough electricity to power all of America's homes by 2035, according to the report, and employ up to 1.5 million people in the process.
Solar continues to become more economical because of improved technology, more affordable materials, and growing customer demand. This means rooftop solar makes financial sense for many households and can save money in the long run. When solar power is produced or consumed, it has significantly less pollution than "dirty" power. Global carbon emissions might be lowered dramatically by developing solar power and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
In 2016, the International Solar Alliance and the World Bank Group (WBG) signed an agreement with 121 nations led by India to grow global solar energy use and assist the alliance in mobilizing $1 trillion in solar investments by 2030.
The World Bank also pledged $1 billion in planned projects to assist India in providing millions of people with sustainable, clean, and climate-friendly electricity. They earmarked $625 million to install solar panels on rooftops across the country. This was also backed by a $125 million climate investment funds (CIF) co-financing loan.
Families in Bolivia who live in isolated places without access to the electricity grid turn to solar home systems to meet their requirements. More than 26 million people have gained access to current energy services because of the WBG's Lighting Global, Lighting Africa, Lighting Asia, and Lighting Pacific programs, which have expanded off-grid lighting goods and services. Installing solar panels help many homes cut their utility cost while lowering their carbon footprint.
Electricity is transported via massive networks from extensive power facilities to consumers. It also passes via power lines, where a portion of the energy may be lost due to the resistance of the cables. Hence, power losses often ensue from long-distance electric transmissions.
On the other hand, as an alternative power source, solar energy can reduce electricity loss. Homeowners can install photovoltaic panels on roofs to help generate electricity from the sun. Solar power systems are also long-lasting and dependable. Hence, one can be assured that they will generate enough energy to meet their home's energy needs.
Solar energy will play a crucial role in supplying the globe with electricity, as renewable energy is our only viable alternative for the future. The world cannot continue to rely on dirty and non-renewable fossil fuels as it has done for generations. However, no single energy source can meet the demands of a growing world population.
