In 2022, the world added more new solar capacity than all other energy sources for electricity combined. Global energy generation from solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, which convert sunlight into electricity, rose by 270 terawatt hours (TWh), marking a 26% rise on the previous year.
While remaining a modest contributor to overall electricity generation for now, solar’s share rose to 7% in 2024 – nearly doubling in just three years. Solar experienced the fastest growth among all power generation technologies in terms of electricity output, three times as much as wind power, which was ranked second.
This improved efficiency ensures that solar panels continue to deliver optimal power output throughout their lifespan of 25 to 30 years. The graph below illustrates the relationship between solar panel efficiency and degradation rates over time.
Solar experienced the fastest growth among all power generation technologies in terms of electricity output, three times as much as wind power, which was ranked second. As if that weren’t enough, global installed solar capacity surpassed 2 TW in 2024. It took nearly 70 years to reach the first terawatt, but only two more to double it.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
