How much solar energy will we need in a decarbonized future? @ENERGY and @NREL set out to find the answer in a newly published report: the Solar Futures Study. Put your sunglasses on and check out the thread below!🌞energy.gov/solarfutures 
@ENERGY @NREL The answer is… QUITE A LOT!
To achieve our decarbonization goals, solar will need to supply about 45% of our electricity production in 2050, including growing demand from newly electrified loads from cars, buildings, and more.

@ENERGY @NREL Let’s dig in… We started with the goal of achieving 95% decarbonization of the electric grid by 2035 and 100% by 2050. From there, we modeled the role solar energy would need to play to meet those milestones. energy.gov/solarfutures
