Solar power in 0.3% of land could meet global electricity demand.
According to relevant research institutions, 0.3% of the world's land, can meet the global demand for electricity. Solar energy can be used in utility-scale power plants, agricultural solar and commercial solar.
In theory, solar would need just 0.3% of the land area to meet global electricity demand. The researchers also say that raw materials and land availability do not pose a barrier to solar's place in the global energy landscape.
The agency's scientists say solar power generates an average of 1,370 kilowatt-hours a year, requiring just 38 million hectares of land. However, the total global land area is 130.3 billion hectares. So our current electricity consumption could be provided by solar energy covering 0.3 percent of the available land.
Traditional plans for global solar deployment in the coming years are often based on calculations of land costs, mostly for dense, utility-scale power plants, the researchers said. So they ignore a lot of commercial solar products that can change the way people live.
Still, these initial applications show that there is still room for innovation at the system level, the staff at the relevant agencies said. All in all, although land availability can limit the development of local solar energy, it will not be a limitation on a larger scale. Therefore, we recommend that every country can strive to make a positive contribution to the protection of the environment.
Many scientists say that the efficiency of solar cell technology will be significantly improved in the future, which may help solve the problem of energy storage, and currently accounts for 95% of the global market of crystalline silicon cells, so we believe that the continuous development of battery technology in the next few years, solar energy can be more used in our daily life.
According to researchers at another research institute, the cost of solar technology has fallen by 23% since 1976, as the technology has been updated.
Researchers at the research institute said that given the volatility of raw material prices, it also includes the drastic competition among suppliers that has greatly reduced the profits of related products. They point to efficiency gains and research into raw materials as key factors in reducing costs.
The study also suggests some challenges that solar should face in the next decade. The right tax plan could make solar energy more widely available and strengthen research to improve its efficiency and reliability.
