By far the biggest challenge is its intermittency; the sun doesn’t ‘shine’ for 24 hours a day. Whilst nighttime is of course predictable, and in daylight energy can still be captured in cloudy conditions, the amount of electricity generated inadvertently fluctuates throughout the day as well as seasonally, posing various challenges:
A 2021 study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) projected that 40% of all power generation in the U.S. could come from solar by 2035. Solar’s current trends and forecasts look promising, with photovoltaic (PV) installations playing a major role in solving energy problems like carbon pollution and energy dependence.
But a big problem is simply making it easier for people to get their hands on solar panels – in their own homes or industry. Says Daniel Gregory, an emerging energy technologies researcher at Accenture Labs, “Getting the technology available to enough people is more the issue than the technology itself.
Ultimately, the global transition to solar energy requires collaboration between developed and developing nations, as well as the sharing of knowledge and resources. By embracing solar power, both types of economies can contribute to a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.
powers have appreciated the full potential of solar power. According to the world's leading experts, needs by 2050. The developm ent of solar energy and its mass i ntroduction into operation will hel p economy. Economic laws and dev elopment experience suggest th at the rational structure of natural
Solar intermittency is the most obvious issue related to PV panel efficiency. The sun is not visible for 24 hours per day except for a short time each year at extreme latitudes. Solar power users need other power sources to use after sunset, and utilities cannot rely on solar alone to provide electricity for their customers.
