Utility-Scale Solar Photovoltaics

Just over 3 percent of global electricity generation is estimated to be from utility-scale solar photovoltaics (PV). Our scenarios project that by 2050, utility-scale PV could generate 21–25 percent of electricity, some 9,015.58–17,117.72 terawatt-hours. We assume an implementation cost of $1,733 per kilowatt and a learning rate of 21 percent.
