Future prospects of solar technology Solar energy is one of the best options to meet future energy demand since it is superior in terms of availability, cost effectiveness, accessibility, capacity, and efficiency compared to other renewable energy sources , .
Despite setbacks, there is reason to believe that the future of solar PV employment is nonetheless bright, given the urgency for more ambitious climate and energy transition policies, as well as the expectation that countries are learning important lessons on the design and coherence of policies.
Introduction Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is indispensable for realizing a global low-carbon energy system and, eventually, carbon neutrality. Benefiting from the technological developments in the PV industry, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of PV energy has been reduced by 85% over the past decade .
This report clearly points out that solar PV is one of the strategic renewable technologies needed to realise the global energy transformation in line with the Paris climate goals. The technology is available now, could be deployed quickly at a large scale and is cost-competitive.
In the REmap analysis 100% electricity access is foreseen by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, and solar PV would be the major contributor to this achievement. costs are expected to reduce further, outpacing fossil fuels by 2020 (IRENA, 2019f).
Within the last few decades, solar PVs have emerged as a pioneering renewable energy technology. Environmentally friendly solar energy reduces the negative impact on the atmosphere and converts solar energy to heat or electricity using thermal or PV systems.
