We analyse actual uptake of solar home systems using household surveys for 11 developing countries. Being rural, having a higher income, and lacking access to the grid are all identified as drivers of solar use. We do not find evidence that households in sunnier areas are more likely to have solar home systems across countries.

The identified challenges include developing new materials, enhanced performance, accelerated system installation and improved manufacturing processes, combining solar energy with other clean energy production and storage systems, and integrating solar energy utilisation with local energy utilisation patterns.
Thus, solar energy engineering is the most efficient type of alternative, safe energy in the foreseeable future of mankind. This review is an effort to highlight the major progress and future challenges of using renewable energy sources.
The number of households relying on solar PV grows from 25 million today to more than 100 million by 2030 in the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE Scenario). At least 190 GW will be installed from 2022 each year and this number will continue to rise due to increased competitiveness of PV and the growing appetite for clean energy sources.

Our study examines peer-reviewed studies from the start of PV technology up to 2023 to answer these questions. The literature indicates that not only developed countries but also developing and emerging nations possess significant potential to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change by adopting renewable energy sources.
Thus, solar energy engineering is the most efficient type of alternative, safe energy in the foreseeable future of mankind. This review is an effort to highlight the major
According to International Energy Agency reports, global PV installations increased dramatically, with up to 446 gigawatts of direct current (GW dc) connected. Globally, analysts project that by 2030 as much as five terawatts (TW dc) of PV may be installed, and up to 15 TW dc of PV could be installed by 2050.
Solar energy is the most widely available energy resource on Earth, and its economic attractiveness is improving fast in a cycle of increasing investments. Here we use
The market for productive uses of solar energy in Kenya: a status report 7 The Energising Development (EnDev) programme recognises the positive impact the productive use of solar energy (PUE) can have both on solar companies and their customers. In cooperation with the Kenya Renewable Energy Association (KEREA) PUE Working Group

National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) has assessed the country''s solar potential of about 748 GW assuming 3% of the waste land area to be covered by Solar PV modules. Solar energy has taken a central place in India''s National Action Plan on Climate Change with National Solar Mission (NSM) as one of the key Missions. NSM was launched on 11 th January, 2010. NSM
The primary objective for deploying renewable energy in India is to advance economic development, improve energy security, improve access to energy, and mitigate climate change.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that the United States installed 15.6 GW ac of solar capacity in in the first quarter (Q1)/second quarter (Q2) of 2024 (the Solar Energy Industries Association reported 21.4 GW dc)—a 55% increase from the record achieved in Q1/Q2 2023.
This development plan is basically in accordance with the current status of solar PV application in China as large-scale PV (LS-PV), Employing solar home systems (SHS) to boost rural electrification has been welcomed warmly worldwide. In China, although rural electrification only has a share of about 0.4% in 2011 Fig. 1), it provided the first market for the
Meanwhile, Bangladesh is heavily investing in distributed systems through the world''s largest off-grid solar system program, the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Development (RERED) Project.

Vietnam has been regarded as a country with immense opportunities for renewable energy in general and for the development of solar and wind power in particular.
Through a systematic literature survey, this review study summarizes the world solar energy status (including concentrating solar power and solar PV power) along with the published solar energy potential assessment articles for 235 countries and territories as the first step toward developing solar energy in these regions. A comparison of the
These countries have made substantial investments in solar infrastructure, resulting in widespread installations and well-established markets. The future of solar energy in developed nations is promising, with a focus on further enhancing efficiency, storage capabilities, and grid integration [62, 63].
powers have appreciated the full potential of solar power. According to the world's leading experts, needs by 2050. The developm ent of solar energy and its mass i ntroduction into operation will hel p economy. Economic laws and dev elopment experience suggest th at the rational structure of natural
The adoption of household solar panels would allow for a leapfrogging from traditional to modern energy sources (van Benthem, 2015). This concept is particularly important within the framework of developing countries, partly skipping the step of grid investment, which is quite costly and delays the transition to clean energy adoption.
The future of solar energy in developed nations is promising, with a focus on further enhancing efficiency, storage capabilities, and grid integration [62, 63]. Developing economies frequently encounter substantial energy requirements resulting from population expansion and the process of industrialization.
The large and integrated dataset allows us to provide key insights into the main determinants of solar panel adoption across these countries and regions. In the analysis, we find a novel result that indicates that the distance of a province to the country's capital city is negatively related to household solar panel adoption.
Due to the benefit of low costs, many developing nations are more interested in investing in solar energy to meet energy demands; consequently, the adoption of solar technologies fulfills the basic needs of food and shelter, health, and education and uplifts society .
