Solar energy could theoretically cover the world's electricity demand by just 0.3% of its land area. This is one of the main conclusions of new research by a group of academic institutions, led by Aarhus University in Denmark. The researchers claim that raw materials and land availability will not present real barriers to PV in its race to dominate the global energy landscape. The scientists claim that, for an average annual generation for solar of 1,370 kWh/kW, 38 million hectares would be needed. They noted that the world has a total area of 13,003 million hectares. “Hence, our current electricity consumption could be supplied by solar PV covering 0.3% of the available land,” researcher Marta Victoria told pv magazine. The researchers said conventional assumptions about global PV deployment for the years to come are generally based on land cover and cost projections that chiefly consider classic, densely packed, utility-scale power plants. They claim such projections ignore the potential of vertical PV, floating installations, agrivoltaics, and building-integrated arrays, as well as other innovative PV system configurations. “Nevertheless, these embryonic applications show that there is still room for innovation at the system level,” the academics said. “In summary, although available land can limit solar PV at local levels, it will not be a limitation at a larger scale, and therefore, we recommend that models include accurate and up-to-date constraints based on materials and land availability.” The scientists described their findings in “Solar photovoltaics is ready to power a sustainable future,” which was recently published in Joule. They said the efficiency of solar cell technologies will improve significantly in the future, and that could help to address land-limitation issues in specific locations. They also claimed that raw material availability might only be an issue only for thin-film PV tech, and not for crystalline silicon cells, which currently account for 95% of the global market. “Thanks to the increase in efficiency and the use of thinner contact fingers, the use of silver per watt has significantly reduced in the last years, and copper or aluminum could be used as a replacement if necessary,” the research group stressed. “The noncell materials in PV (glass, plastic, aluminum, concrete, and steel) are not expected to represent a limit either.” The researchers also reported that solar maintained a learning rate of 23% since 1976 and that the cost of the PV technology dropped by 23% every time the capacity doubled. “Given that the learning rate is based on module prices, it also includes the elimination of big parts of the margins in PV manufacturing due to strong competition between suppliers,” the scientists said, noting that the main factors for cost reduction are efficiency increases, economies of scale, and scientific work on silicon materials. The study also presents some challenges PV should face in the next decade. These in...

Recently, the latest data released by JMK Research, an Indian renewable energy consulting agency, shows that from January to September this year, India's newly installed photovoltaic power generation capacity reached 11.2 million kilowatts. Among them, the new installed capacity of centralized projects is about 9.3 million kilowatts, the new installed capacity of distributed projects is about 1.3 million kilowatts, and the new installed capacity of off-grid photovoltaic power generation projects is 600,000 kilowatts. "With the gradual maturity of the photovoltaic industry, the cost of photovoltaic power generation has dropped rapidly. Even though the global photovoltaic industry is facing supply shortages and price increases in some links this year, Indian companies' demand for subsidy-free photovoltaic power plants is still growing. As of the end of September, The installed capacity of subsidy-free photovoltaic power generation projects proposed and under construction in India exceeds 5 million kilowatts." said Priya Sanjay, general manager of Macomb India Research Company. Foreign media believe that in the future, as the cost of photovoltaic power generation continues to decline, the penetration rate of photovoltaic power generation will further increase in areas with better development conditions for the photovoltaic industry in India, such as western and southwestern India. We have also been paying close attention to the Indian market, and UISOLAR is confident in making achievements in this market with great potential.

According to a survey report recently released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in the first three quarters of this year, the photovoltaic power generation in the United States increased by 26.1% compared with the same period last year. According to information published by its publication Electricity Monthly, photovoltaic power generation in September 2022 increased by 21.02% compared to September last year, despite a decline in power generation from other renewable energies. Electricity generation from utility-scale photovoltaic systems increased by more than 655MW in September 2022. According to the data released by the research firm SUNDAY Campaign, despite the substantial growth of renewable energy power generation in the first three quarters of this year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts in a report that the growth of renewable energy power generation in the fourth quarter of this year may slow down. slow. According to the forecast of Ken Bossong, executive director of the SUNDAY Campaign, by 2022, renewable energy generation will account for 22% of the total electricity generation in the United States, an increase of 20% compared with last year. He continued: "While current wind and hydro generation have exceeded this level, growth in wind and hydro generation will slow in the fourth quarter of this year, which may result in renewable energy generation below this level. levels, but will still exceed the record generation in 2021." Despite an uptick in U.S. PV production in September this year, utility installations from the third quarter of 2021 to the third quarter of 2022 due to delays and disruptions in importing PV modules due to the implementation of its so-called Forced Labor Prevention Act The installed capacity of large-scale photovoltaic systems fell by 23%. This downward trend is expected to continue until 2023, until the benefits of the investment tax credit provided by the Inflation Reduction Act in 2024 start to show.
