To achieve the national target that renewable power would meet half of the total electricity demand by 2030 in China, solar energy is attached with strategic importance and is expected to produce 20%-25% of the total electricity by 2050 [1], which is generally consistent with the long-term national climate target of reaching net-zero emission before 2060 [2].
Solar energy can be used to create solar fuels such as hydrogen. At the end of 2020, there was more than 700 GW of solar installed around the world, meeting around 3 percent of global electricity demand. More solar PV energy is added each year than any other type of energy generation, thanks largely to the rapid cost reductions that have been achieved in recent years. …
Imagine the Sun as a giant power plant, tirelessly beaming energy toward Earth. The solar constant is the measure of this solar energy received per second on a square meter of area, right outside Earth''s atmosphere, when Earth is at its average distance from the Sun. It''s no small number; it clocks in at around 1,366 watts per square meter.
