| Summary: | This study is the seventh in the MIT Energy
Initiative’s “Future of” series, which aims to
shed light on a range of complex and important
issues involving energy and the environment.
Previous studies in this series have focused on
energy supply technologies that play important
roles in electric power systems and on the
electricity grid itself. In contrast, solar energy,
the focus of this study, accounts for only about
1% of electricity generation in the United States
and globally. We believe a focus on solar
technologies is nonetheless warranted because,
as we discuss at several points in this study, the
use of solar energy to generate electricity at
very large scale is likely to be an essential
component of any serious strategy to mitigate
global climate change |
