International Energy Agency and Renewable Energy Predictions
A sort of follow-up to my first post “Solar Power Growth” , I found this article from the International Energy Agency – IEA (2025), Renewables 2025, IEA, Paris https://www.iea.org/reports/renewables-2025, Licence: CC BY 4.0
In 2025, I paid to have a Grid-tied system installed on my home. I am happy with the installation and only have a few months of performance data on the systems power generation. So far I’m pleased as it’s meeting projected output levels during the winter solstice.
I encourage people to have a look at the article. There is another graph that shows the USA in a strange light as the current political leaders steer the ship towards the lighthouse.
