The Race to Build the World’s Largest Solar Farms Is Accelerating

Over the last two decades, solar panels have fallen in price while efficiency has increased. Greater uptake and high levels of investment in research and development have led to vast improvements in solar power technology.

As panel prices fall and governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and cut emissions, several developers are now launching mega-projects to meet the growing demand. Most major solar projects developed in recent years provide hundreds of megawatts of clean power.
