Many countries and territories have installed significant solar power capacity into their electrical grids to supplement or provide an alternative to conventional energy sources. Solar power plants use one of two technologies: • Photovoltaic (PV) systems use solar panels, either on rooftops or in ground-mounted solar farms, converting sunlight directly into electric power.
Some countries are pulling off stunningly fast energy transitions, adding solar so rapidly, it''s become a major source of electricity over the course of years — not decades.
In this article, we''ll break down which countries are the leaders in solar energy, the factors driving their adoption, and what these global trends mean for U.S. homeowners thinking
