Professor Andrew Blakers and Professor Ricardo Rüther (UFSC) have published an article in PV Magazine, detailing:

  • 80% of new generation in 2023 was wind and solar, with solar installations reaching more than 350 GW
  • Cumulative global solar installed capacity passed 1.4 TW, and cumulative production reached 1.7 TW, which is more than tenfold larger than ten years ago, and it is doubling every 3 years.
  • If this growth rate continues, there will be more solar installed in 2031 than all other electricity generation technologies put together.
