The utilization of renewable energy as a future energy resource is drawing significant attention worldwide. The contribution of solar energy (including concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar photovoltaic (PV) power) to global electricity production, as one form of renewable energy sources, is generally still low, at 3.6%.
While the contribution of solar energy to global electricity production remains generally low at 3.6%, it has firmly established itself among other renewable energy technologies, comprising nearly 31% of the total installed renewable energy capacity in 2022 (IRENA, 2023).
Consequently, in seven countries (Djibouti and Lesotho in Africa; Bhutan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan in Asia; and Paraguay in South America), about 23.3%, there is solar energy research; however, there is still no observable solar energy development in these seven regions.
Twenty-three countries of the mentioned 30 countries, about 76.7%, have no reported academic solar energy research yet.
Through a detailed and systematic literature survey, the present review study summarizes the world solar energy status, including concentrating solar power and solar PV power, along with published solar energy potential assessment articles for 235 countries and territories as the first step toward developing solar energy in these regions.
New solar capacity added between now and 2030 will account for 80% of the growth in renewable power globally by the end of this decade. Adoption accelerates due to declining costs, shorter permitting timelines and widespread social acceptance.
