In the 21st century, Europe and the United States introduced photovoltaic technology into a period of rapid development: After entering the 21st century, advanced countries such as Europe and the United States began to introduce photovoltaic systems into the development direction. At the same time, in the face of severe energy substitution and pressure from the human ecological environment, the global photovoltaic industry is becoming a trend of rapid development due to the gradual improvement of laws, regulations and policies in various countries.
With the reduction of the cost of photovoltaic power generation, it will occupy an important position in the world's energy consumption in the near future. According to data from the European Union Research Center: By 2030, renewable energy will account for more than 30% of the world's total energy structure, and photovoltaic power generation will account for more than 10% of the world's total electricity supply. By 2040, renewable energy will account for more than 50% of the total energy consumption, and photovoltaic power generation will account for more than 20% of the total power supply; by the end of the 21st century, renewable energy will account for more than 80% of the energy structure, and photovoltaic power generation will account for 80%. % Above and will exceed 60%. In the long run, the photovoltaic industry has broad development prospects.
