Abstract: The rapidly accelerating climate crisis and its already observable impacts on people and ecosystems,warrants a rapid and thorough transformation of global energy systems. Renewable energy plays a pivotal role in this transition,and in the critical worldwide effort to reach net-zero emissions.Global installed capacity of renewable energy has more than doubled in the last ten years,with renewable energy generation now outpacing fossil fuel sources in many countries. Further expansion of the sector is still needed,and likely to accelerate with increasing investment and related policy measures such as the European Green New Deal and the United States?
