The utilization of renewable energy as a future energy resource is drawing significant attention worldwide. The contribution of solar energy (including concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar photovoltaic (PV) power) to global electricity production, as one form of renewable energy sources, is generally still low, at 3.6%.
The share of fossil fuels in the global energy mix have typically exceeded 60%, but the future of solar energy is looking bright.
While the contribution of solar energy to global electricity production remains generally low at 3.6%, it has firmly established itself among other renewable energy technologies, comprising nearly 31% of the total installed renewable energy capacity in 2022 (IRENA, 2023).
Public acceptance and support for solar are important determinants of the low-carbon energy transition. Opinion polls tend to indicate that solar energy enjoys a high level of socio-political acceptance and is preferred to other renewables.
