The Proliferation of Solar Photovoltaics Their impact on widespread deployment of electric vehicles.

Energy systems, in general, and power systems, in particular, are undergoing a changing landscape in terms of generation and demand portfolios. These transitions, although offering new economic and labor market opportunities, bring forth a suite of unprecedented technical implications and challenges in the interim. According to experts, our planet's population will reach 9.3 billion in the next four decades. A fundamental and granular outlook on global energy systems (prior to the COVID-19 outbreak) predicted that electricity consumption will double by 2050, with electrified transportation and higher living standards in buildings being among the principal components of this increase. © 2013 IEEE.
