Solar generates fifth of global electricity on summer solstice midday peak
Ember estimates that across midday peaks on the northern hemisphere summer solstice, the world will generate about a fifth of its electricity from solar.
Based on historical monthly data, monthly global solar generation is quite similar from May to August, although its share falls slightly towards August, as global electricity demand rises due to increased air conditioning demand in the northern hemisphere. Solar provides clean power that can be deployed quickly and locally to the demand source. Many high potential countries across the globe face financial and logistical challenges and it is important to enable solar development in these countries to lead the world towards a clean, electrified energy future.
