We generated a data set of over 4,000 scenarios from GCAM by varying 12 different socioeconomic factors at high and low levels, including assumptions about future energy demand, resource costs, and fossil fuel emissions paths, as well as specific technology assumptions including wind and solar backup requirements and storage costs.
Detailed analysis of solar investments can help countries, policymakers, financial institutions, and decision-makers in understanding the current status as well as the trends in the solar investment landscape and guide them in making focused interventions to accelerate solar energy adoption and clean energy transition. 4.1. Global solar investments
Future prospects of solar technology Solar energy is one of the best options to meet future energy demand since it is superior in terms of availability, cost effectiveness, accessibility, capacity, and efficiency compared to other renewable energy sources , .
Due to the benefit of low costs, many developing nations are more interested in investing in solar energy to meet energy demands; consequently, the adoption of solar technologies fulfills the basic needs of food and shelter, health, and education and uplifts society .
Investments in project development activities dominated the solar share of investments at 93% in 2021. Utility-scale solar attracted the highest investment followed by the residential solar segment and then the commercial and industrial solar segment.
The report provides an overview of the global and regional trends in solar investments. Global investments in solar crossed the USD ∼220 billion mark in 2021 , witnessing an increase of 18% from 2020 levels. Regionally, solar investments have been skewed in favor of the Asia and Pacific, and Europe and North America regions.
powers have appreciated the full potential of solar power. According to the world's leading experts, needs by 2050.

The energy obtained from sustainable energies such as solar, wind, and thermal energy is mainly used in three ways: (1) refrigerating to reduce the temperature of the condensing surface and then the air temperature to obtain water; (2) transporting fresh air into the system to drive air circulation; (3) monitoring and controlling the system to adapt to the environment and …
In this paper, we review a class of promising bulk energy storage technologies based on thermo-mechanical principles, which includes: compressed-air energy storage, liquid-air energy storage and pumped-thermal electricity storage. The thermodynamic principles upon which these thermo-mechanical energy storage (TMES) technologies are based are discussed …
Although fossil fuels leave environmentally hazardous gases like carbon dioxide, to date, global energy production is mostly dependent on these sources. Depletion of fossil resource and changes in the price make it a major concert for the sustainable use in future and utilization of energy resources which is environmentally safe and sustainable. Therefore, an …
The study assessed the prospects of solar green generation in the context of modern trends in the development of renewable energy in the world, taking into account the forecast estimates of world energy agencies in the perspective of 2030–2060.
Our study examines peer-reviewed studies from the start of PV technology up to 2023 to answer these questions. The literature indicates that not only developed countries but also developing and emerging nations possess significant potential to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change by adopting renewable energy sources.
In this review, we investigated the global potential of solar energy technologies, their limitations and benefits, and their future prospects. Accordingly, we concluded that despite a few drawbacks solar energy technology is one of the most promising renewable energy sources to meet the future global energy demand.
Solar PV (photovoltaic) systems are a renewable energy technology that allows the utilization of solar energy directly from the sun to meet electricity demands. Solar PV has the potential to create a reliable, clean and stable energy systems for the future.

In this paper, the dynamic model and control systems of the discharging process of an SALAES system considering the metal thermal inertia and axial heat conduction are established and two different start-up methods, rated parameter start-up and variable parameter start-up, are proposed and compared.
Energy is an important factor in the development of any country or society. Global energy demand is rising continuously with each passing year 1,2 while energy gain is mostly from fossil fuels so energy production from fossil fuels raises the level of CO 2 emission in the atmosphere which leads to global warming, air pollution, and climate change. 3 According …
