Solar and Wind on Track to Supply 80-100% of Global Electricity by 2050

An analysis of 60 studies, as reported by pv magazine, indicates solar photovoltaic and wind technologies could provide the vast majority of global electricity generation by the middle of the century. The research from Finland’s LUT University suggests these two sources may supply between 80% and 100% of electricity by 2050 in scenarios achieving at least 95% renewable electricity, excluding nuclear power.

The systematic review examined how capital expenditure assumptions and modeling choices influence projections for solar photovoltaic deployment. It found that assumptions about photovoltaic costs are frequently pessimistic, with some studies projecting 2050 costs higher than current market levels. Lower projected costs generally correlate with higher anticipated shares of solar power in the energy mix.

Geographic factors also shape outcomes, with countries possessing substantial hydropower or geothermal resources showing lower projected solar shares. Regions with strong solar resources tend to show greater reliance on photovoltaics. The analysis notes that modeling often simplifies photovoltaic technology, overlooking diverse applications such as floating, bifacial, or building-integrated systems, which can affect land use and deployment potential.

Future photovoltaic costs are linked to global supply chain stability and geopolitical risks, according to the research. Historical experience suggests manufacturing value chains can be established rapidly across regions with moderate cost increases, indicating medium-term risks may be manageable. Concerns regarding critical raw materials are seen as limited, with expected resolutions for constraints like silver use in cell metallization through substitution technologies emerging around 2026.

The study highlights that modeling choices, including insufficient spatial or temporal resolution, can distort the estimated role of solar photovoltaics in future energy systems. The research considered studies covering the power, heat, and transport sectors to account for sector coupling effects.
