In 2023, solar power generated 5.5% (1,631 TWh) of global electricity and over 1% of primary energy, adding twice as much new electricity as coal. [4][5] Along with onshore wind power, utility-scale solar is the source with the cheapest levelised cost of electricity for new installations in most countries. [6][7] As of 2023.

As the U.S. and Soviet Union raced to launch satellites and spacecraft, solar energy offered an attractive way to generate power far from Earth. In 1958, the U.S. launched Vanguard 1, the first solar-powered satellite. Its radically new power system, made up of six solar panels, enabled it to remain in orbit for over six years.

At the turn of the millennium, solar supplied less than 0.01% of global electricity generation. Today, it has grown to over 3%—still modest but rising rapidly year after year. In countries leading the way like Germany, Italy, and Australia, the solar share of electricity already exceeds 10%.
The UK government announced that a target of 4 million homes would be powered by solar energy by 2020, which would require the national solar capacity to reach 22 GW of capacity. In 2020, the solar capacity of the UK was 13.477 GW. This is substantially less than the ambitious target of 22 GW.
At the end of 2011 there were 230,000 solar power projects in the United Kingdom. 4 million homes across the UK will be fully or partially powered by the sun within eight years. This is based on government predictions - all thanks to technological developments, helped by the fact that we have an insolation level like that of Germany.
