“Solar is powering growth in renewables around the world ”

DR FATIH BIROL EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN , INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
This is a demonstration that the future of solar is , if you ’ ll pardon the pun , bright .
As summarised by Elon Musk – who believes not enough is being done to harness the power of the sun ’ s energy – the Tesla CEO says : “ Soon , solar energy will be so cheap that it will out-compete all other forms of electricity production , except perhaps hydroelectricity .
“ Solar power will be the vast majority of power generation in the future .”
As we harness the power of the sun more efficiently and innovatively , we are not only addressing immediate energy needs but also paving the way for a sustainable and resilient energy landscape . energydigital . com 101
