Exponential growth occurs when a quantity grows as an exponential function of time. The quantity grows at a rate directly proportional to its present size. For example, when it is 3 times as big as it is now, it will be growing 3 times as fast as it is now.
In 2023, solar power generated 5.5% (1,631 TWh) of global electricity and over 1% of primary energy, adding twice as much new electricity as coal. [65] [66] Along with onshore wind power, utility-scale solar is the source with the cheapest levelised cost of electricity for new installations in most countries. [67] [68] As of 2023, 33 countries ...
