Happy Wednesday!
You know we embrace all energy
because we like out air-conditioning and lights.
In spite of people’s thoughts on different types of energy, one type has
reached new heights! Solar! Let’s see
what harnessing the sun has done for the grids around the world.
Did anyone
happen to read the Energy Connects Newsletter on August 3, 2026, they
had reprinted an article from Bloomberg titled, “The world crossed a major solar
milestone. No one noticed.”? In the
article, it speaks on how the world passed a significant moment in regard to solar
power; the world produced 3-terawatts, and we didn’t even see it. Solar energy has been around for a while and
it reached 100 GW back in the early 2010s, about a decade later the world hit
1-terrawatt and this year it hit 3-terawatts of solar power. The build out of solar is happening not only
in developed countries where initially their governments subsidized the costs,
it is happening in undeveloped ones as the equipment has become less expensive
to install. It is expected to reach
almost 10 terawatts in another decade as more countries add it to their grids. Unfortunately, there will be a time the world
will reach the top plateau for growth for this type of energy unless batteries
are added to grids to harness the solar energy produced to use later in the day. Well, this is good news for all the grids who
have solar energy tied to it. If you
