The solar power sector is projected to experience significant expansion in the coming years. As solar energy becomes a key component of the global energy mix, there are expectations for increased solar capacity across various regions.
Here is what it will take for us to power the planet on sunshine Is solar power going to take over the world? The past few years have seen a frankly astounding acceleration in the rate of its deployment, with total generation capacity doubling between 2022 and 2024 to supply a full 7 per cent of the world's electricity.
Almost 70 gigawatts (GW) of new solar generating capacity projects are scheduled to come online in 2026 and 2027, which represents a 49% increase in U.S. solar operating capacity compared with the end of 2025. Much of the utility-scale solar generation capacity additions will come online in Texas.
We expect that solar electricity generation supplied to the grid managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) will grow from 56 BkWh in 2025 to 106 BkWh by 2027. Increasing amounts of battery storage capacity help to support the fluctuations in solar output during the day.
The future energy grid will be a mix of renewables—solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal— heavily dependent on the major local resource. Five countries already boast at or near 100 per-cent
