China will install more photovoltaic energy in 2024 than the rest of the countries combined in a year of record figures

In 2024, 23% more photovoltaic capacity will be installed than the previous year, according to a study by the think tank Ember. This technology is “growing faster than expected”, even exceeding industry forecasts. After a record 2023 for photovoltaic energy worldwide, this year is also set to set new records, exceeding most industry forecasts. At … Continue reading China will install more photovoltaic energy in 2024 than the rest of the countries combined in a year of record figures

Solar photovoltaic (PV) can provide 20% of world electricity on northern summer solstice, Ember says

The world has enough photovoltaic solar power capacity to generate a fifth of its midday peak electricity needs on the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, up from 16% last year, a report by thinktank Ember showed. Photovoltaic solar power is currently the fastest growing source of electricity due to falling technology … Continue reading Solar photovoltaic (PV) can provide 20% of world electricity on northern summer solstice, Ember says
