The rapid expansion of solar energy has significant implications for global energy systems. While solar contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the midday surplus of electricity poses challenges for grid operators. Curtailment, where excess solar energy is not utilized, is becoming more common in several markets. This highlights the need for improved storage solutions, transmission infrastructure, and demand-response programs to balance supply and demand effectively. Without these measures, the full benefits of solar energy may not be realized, potentially slowing the transition to cleaner energy systems.
