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%.
Finally, within the group of 235 countries, it's seen that 30 nations, comprising around 12.8% of the total, have yet to engage in solar energy development. These 30 countries collectively have a population of 44 million. Out of these 30 countries, 23 (approximately 76.7%) have not documented any academic research in the field of solar energy.
Solar energy is revolutionizing residential electricity generation by transforming rooftops into energy producers. This decentralized approach shifts the paradigm from passive energy consumption to active energy production, empowering homeowners to become energy producers.
The literature survey reveals that clear gaps still exist in the field of solar energy. In the next three decades, the solar PV field can advance to become the second prominent generation source by constructing more solar farms, allowing countries to generate approximately 25% of the world's total electricity needs by 2050. 2.
