Future Solar Panels

Future solar technology modern day solar panels have a maximum efficiency of about 33 meaning that much of the sun s solar radiation goes to waste even under the most ideal circumstances.

Future solar panels.

But thanks to all the advancements mentioned above solar is set to become lighter more flexible and applicable everywhere. In 2018 solar generated about 1 5 of us electricity. 50 to 100 years ahead of what the iea forecast in its 2010 world energy outlook depending on how one extrapolates iea s forecasts from 2010. Imagine all this tech is available and you visit another city.

The future of solar energy judging by the exponential influence solar energy has had throughout the world it s safe to say that the future looks very bright for it to expand further. 10 to 15 years ahead of what i forecast in 2011. This is a major obstacle that solar energy systems must overcome to achieve exponential growth in the energy industry. In a series of reports from october 2018 to may 2020 researchers studied how solar panels catching fire breaking and sitting in a landfill could affect human health and found minimal risks.

Within the u s 17 of energy used was conducted through solar panels however that number is estimated to grow up to 48 by 2050. 30 to 40 years ahead of what the iea forecast in its 2014 solar technology roadmap. In fact solar has reached prices today that are.
