The companies in the solar sector are developing as well as installing devices that assist in capturing solar energy and then convert that energy to electric energy. These firms are working to assist in transitioning the world economy away from scarce fossil fuels towards renewable sources of energy. This conversion needs millions or trillions of dollars as well as many years for such conversion. There has been observed huge growth in the market of solar energy. As per the reports given by National Renewable Energy Laboratory, this solar industry would be adding around 10 GW of solar capacity by the end of 2022. An increase in the power sources will result in minimizing the cost associated with it and for this purpose solar energy is the lowest possible cost source in the future. Insider Monkey has shared the statement by IEA (International Energy Agency) in their post on Yahoo, which is given below:
“According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), “power generation from solar PV is estimated to have increased by 22% in 2019, to 720 TWh. With this increase, the solar PV share in global electricity generation is now almost 3%”. IEA is also expecting that Solar PV electricity generation capacity will go up by 19.2% in 2022. Furthermore, Solar PV will account for 55% of total renewable electricity production in the same period.”
