30.09.2014 - Solar power could be world's top electricity source by 2050, says IEA
Falling cost of solar photovoltaic panels could help technology generate up to 16% of world’s electricity by mid-century. Solar energy could be the top source of electricity by 2050, aided by plummeting costs of the equipment to generate it, a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the West’s energy watchdog, said on Monday. IEA Reports said solar photovoltaic (PV) systems could generate up to 16% of the world’s electricity by 2050, while solar thermal electricity (STE) - from “concentrating” solar power plants - could provide a further 11%...............................................Full Article: Source
