It is worthwhile to note that compared to the World Energy Outlook (WEO) 2021, the modelled electricity supply of solar photovoltaics (PV) by 2030 in the WEO 2022 has increased from 6970 TWh to 7551 TWh (+8.3%) and from 23,469 TWh to 27,006 TWh (+15.1%) by 2050 . The corresponding capacities are given as 5.05 TW in 2030 and 15.47 TW in 2050.
Alongside wind energy, solar PV would lead the way in the transformation of the global electricity sector. Cumulative installed capacity of solar PV would rise to 8 519 GW by 2050 becoming the second prominent source (after wind) by 2050.
One of the key trends in the solar PV industry in 2023 is the continued decline in the cost of components required for solar panel installations, such as solar cells and inverters. This is due to the increased manufacturing efficiency, advances in technology and economies of scale.
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).
