Long-term Trend: Significant Increase in Solar

Production Capacity

• The share of renewable energy sources in the global electricity supply will increase

from 22 % in 2015 to nearly 100 % in 2050

• The share of solar energy in the global energy mix will increase significantly in the

next few years. By 2050, solar technology should reach a share of 69 %

• This development is driven in particular by drastic cost reductions, cheaper battery

storage and the technological end of nuclear energy
