Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has experienced unprecedented growth, becoming the fastest-growing renewable energy source globally. In 2023, solar PV added 444 GW of new capacity worldwide, representing a 76% increase from 2022.
The International Energy Agency projects that solar PV will become the world's largest source of electricity by 2035, surpassing coal, natural gas, and all other sources. This transformation is driven by technological innovation, economies of scale, and supportive policy frameworks.

Wind energy has emerged as a cornerstone of the global energy transition. In 2023, global wind capacity reached 1,021 GW, with 117 GW of new installations added during the year. Wind now provides approximately 7.6% of global electricity.
The latest generation of offshore wind turbines represents a quantum leap in renewable energy technology. The Vestas V236-15.0 MW and GE Haliade-X 14 MW turbines feature rotor diameters exceeding 220 meters—larger than two football fields. A single rotation of these massive blades can power an average home for two days.
Siemens Gamesa's 18 MW turbine, announced in 2024, pushes boundaries even further with a 280-meter rotor diameter. These innovations enable offshore wind farms to generate clean electricity at costs competitive with fossil fuels, with some projects achieving levelized costs below $40/MWh.

Energy storage is the linchpin of the renewable energy transition. As solar and wind are intermittent sources, advanced storage technologies enable grid stability and 24/7 clean power. The global energy storage market exploded to 90 GW / 196 GWh in 2023, with installations growing 112% year-over-year.
Solid-state batteries represent the next frontier in energy storage. With energy densities 2-3x higher than current lithium-ion batteries, charging times reduced to 10-15 minutes, and enhanced safety through elimination of flammable liquid electrolytes, solid-state technology could revolutionize both EVs and grid storage.
Companies like QuantumScape, Solid Power, and Toyota are racing to commercialize solid-state batteries by 2025-2027. Meanwhile, iron-air batteries from Form Energy promise 100-hour duration storage at $20/kWh—a game-changer for seasonal energy storage and grid resilience.
