I wrote about it before, both solar photovoltaic and wind power are on exponential curves. There will be 2 TW (2,000 GW) of solar PV by 2026 according to analysts. Even the IEA has stopped denying it. When I discovered solar photovoltaic in 2004, the global capacity was around 5 GW. Earlier this year it surpassed 1,000 GW.
