"Between 1999 and 2007, the cumulative capacity of solar power grew by 962% to 12,374Mw. Between 2006 and 2007 alone, cumulative capacity grew by 45%..."

Solar power is on the verge of a major breakthrough in terms of short and mid-term deployment. In the longer term, several analyses have shown that solar energy could, albeit with enormous investment, eventually supply the greater part of global energy needs. Solar cell installation is being driven by incentives in several parts of the world and strong growth is expected to continue.
