Climate change vs. sustainable energy

Climate change has made the search for sustainable energy sources more intense than ever. New technological inventions are being introduced regularly that make solar panels less expensive and more efficient. Solar and other forms of renewable energy resources are widely accepted as the best possible solutions to battle the looming dangers of global warming. Among the various renewable energy resources, such as biomass, wind, hydropower, marine, and geothermal, solar energy accounts for the least polluting energy source. This is the main reason why the rate of solar installations has significantly increased in the last ten years. By the end of 2017, China’s total solar capacity increased the most and reached up to 131.1 gigawatts. The United States stood second with its solar capacity reaching up to 51 gigawatts.

Innovations driving the solar industry

The increasing tendency of people to adopt solar energy has played a significant role in boosting solar operations and maintenance. Numerous innovations in the solar energy field have taken the world by storm, including the innovation of PV panels in the roof tiles or windows. Due to such inventions, it has become easier for people and industries to switch to solar energy and go off the grid. These improvements make the panels cheaper and more efficient and make them irresistible to environmentally aware homeowners and business owners. 

Changing how we live and solar energy

Global warming is changing how the world lives. The dramatic change in the climate of the world is directly related to increased energy use. If the temperatures rise, increasingly more energy will be needed for running cooling devices. In the next few years, the energy demand for cooling devices is expected to increase by 20%, while the energy consumption for heating will decrease by 15%. Solar power is an excellent renewable energy resource. As photovoltaic panels work best under direct sunlight, the global warming can actually be beneficial for solar energy. However, not all areas will be able to benefit from this type of climate change regarding solar energy production.

Global warming and solar energy production 
 

Many studies have attempted to discover the true impacts global warming will have on solar energy production. Contrary to some beliefs related to solar energy production, high temperatures do not always mean increased solar energy production. The solar panels soak up solar energy from the sun and not the overall heat. Thus, the way global warming will impact the production of solar energy is not uniform across all regions.
 
Climate change and solar providers

Solar energy has been around for a couple of years, and now most of the developing world are using solar to go entirely off the grid. They are utilizing solar energy as the sole means of generating power; thus, reducing their reliance on the electricity.
