Learn more about the report and explore the TCPs. Worldwide, dwellings using solar thermal technologies for water heating reached 250 million in 2020. To achieve the milestone of 400 million dwellings by 2030 in the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE Scenario), 290 million new solar thermal systems will need to be installed this decade.
As solar approaches and crosses into Terawatt scale of deployment, a number of technological innovations are emerging to continue improving generation efficiency, power output, and material consumption. Additionally, manufacturing capacity is growing rapidly to meet demand for installations.
It is seen that the global weighted-average LCOE of solar PV technology reduced by about 89 % from 0.445 USD/kWh in 2010 to 0.049 USD/kWh in 2022. It is noticeable that the LCOE of PV technology has dropped into the range of fossil fuel electricity costs since 2014.
These emerging solar thermal technologies are: Electrical heat storage (including hot water tanks and compact heat stores, both residential scale and district heating scale) using the power from solar photovoltaics (on-site and/or off-site).
Solar superpowers are emerging all around the world, not just major players like China, but places like Chile and Rajasthan are showing how to rapidly reach high solar shares. Clean flexibility tools like storage and grids will unlock the full potential of solar, and the tumbling cost of batteries reveals the huge opportunity ahead.
Global cumulative investment in solar PV manufacturing facilities doubled in the past decade amounting USD 100 billion in 2021 increasing by 50% during 2014–21 as compared to 2008–14. Additionally, the solar supply chains is highly concentrated in China, and there is need for diversification across the regions.

That share compares to around 62% for coal and around 12% for hydro, and so cements wind power as China''s third largest source of electricity. Solar power grabbed a roughly 6% share of China''s total electricity generation in 2023, and will likely expand that share in 2024 thanks to continued increases in solar generation capacity in the country.
To reduce the cost of power generation from CSP technologies, over 1000 articles have been published in the last five years, and it is necessary to observe the overall research and technological ...
