Abstract

The article discusses a study on solar energy supply for the legacy and nonlegacy worlds for an estimated 9.4 billion people by the year 2050. It states that delivering an additional 16 terawatts (TW) is difficult because biomass, nuclear energy, wind energy and other energy sources are insufficient for the increasing global energy consumption. The study noted that sunlight is the preeminent carbon-neutral energy source and that delivering personalized solar energy provides a solution for the world's future energy supply.
