The world's transition to a fully sustainable energy system could be possible by 2050, meeting the 1.5 degrees Celsius Paris global warming target.
FREMONT, CA: By utilising renewable energy sources to meet the rising energy demands, nations all around the world are moving toward a low-carbon future. The urgent need to gradually transition to renewable energy sources is needed to address this. Businesses can also play a significant part in energy self-sufficiency by implementing solar power for their diverse energy needs. Additionally, transitioning to a steady and consistent source of energy makes sense because the fluctuating cost of power is one of a large company's highest overhead costs. However, making the switch to solar requires thoughtful planning and calculated action. Rooftop installations have greater upfront costs, but as the electricity can be partially or entirely used on-site, the value is correlated with the applicable industrial or residential retail pricing. Rooftop PV also improves supply and demand's geographic fit, a point that will become more crucial as we gradually electrify the heating, cooling, and transportation sectors. According to several studies, even in the most ambitious cases, roof space is not an issue.

Many economists claimed that assistance for PV deployment was not warranted earlier in the technology's development stage since PV's unit abatement cost was higher than that of alternative mitigation approaches. PV costs have decreased over the past few decades as a result of public assistance for both R&D and adoption (see Kavlak et al. 2018, or David Roberts' good review). PV is on track to overtake other electricity generation technologies as the least expensive in many places. This occurred with PV modules, but the scenario for distributed PV might be similar.
