With 447 GW of new installed capacity, solar continues to dominate the global energy transition, accounting for 78% of new global capacity additions. How has solar grown so fast, and which regions and technologies have contributed to this boom? What policies are needed to sustain this growth, and how can investment be equitably distributed around the world? We talk about this in the latest episode with Christophe Lits, market analyst at SolarPower Europe.
