Results indicate that the alteration of solar PV supply by the end of this century compared with the estimations made under current climate conditions should be in the range (−14%;+2%), with the largest decreases in Northern countries.
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.
Solar energy started its journey in niche markets, like most innovations, supplying electricity to applications where little alternatives existed in space and remote locations 22. Since then, cumulative investments and sales, driven by past policy, have made its cost come down by almost three orders of magnitude.
However, the estimation is based on the assumption that PV panels start being used in 2025, 2050 and 2075, which dose not correspond to reality. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that global PV power generation will decrease in the future. Fig. 10. The changes in PVPOT with and without considering PV degradation.
Lastly, resistance from declining industries may impact the transition. The pace of the transition depends not only on (economic) decisions by entrepreneurs, but also on how desirable policy makers consider it. Solar energy aligns with many policy objectives (clean air, poverty alleviation, energy security 54).
Political tension on the use of land and water (for floating photovoltaics 57) may increase as solar shares rise. A rapid solar transition may also put at risk the livelihood of up to 13 million people worldwide working in fossil fuel industries and dependent industries.
