Solar is leading the energy revolution. It was the fastest-growing source of electricity generation for the 19th year in a row, and surpassed wind to become the largest source of new electricity for the second year running. Indeed, solar added more than twice as much new electricity as coal in 2023.
On such a sunny day with strong solar irradiance, PV electricity generation shifts the supply curve to the right, which essentially pushes nuclear and fossil-fuel-generation “out of the market”.
The future appears to be beckoning in a more sustainable direction. Solar is becoming the cheapest option for generating electricity Maps showing the energy source with the lowest average cost of electricity (including necessary storage) in the 70 world regions in 2020, 2023, 2027 and 2030.

Solar energy is the most plentiful source of clean energy and the quantity of solar power that penetrates the surface of the Earth exceeds the current global energy demand by orders of magnitude.
In the early 1990s, the first grid-connected PV power plants were installed in Japan, Italy, Australia and Germany . The potential benefits of solar PV systems range from widely emission-free electricity generation during the operational phase, allowing electricity pro-sumers to cover at least part of their demand.
“The rapid cost decrease of photovoltaic modules and systems in the last few years has opened new perspectives for using solar energy as a major source of electricity in the coming years and decades,” said IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven. “However, both technologies are very capital intensive: almost all expenditures are made upfront.
