Did humans just achieve a solar milestone?
Humans have officially installed enough solar panels to generate 1 terawatt of electricity. 🤯
Now, you might be wondering, “tera-what?”
Dad jokes aside, a terawatt is one trillion watts, and the term is often used to describe reaaally big amounts of energy. For example, the entire energy consumption of all humans is roughly 17.7 terawatts.
According to predictions, dozens of terawatts of solar capacity will be needed to decarbonize the earth’s electricity, transportation, heating, and industrial systems.
