The research design in this study is based on a systematic narrative literature review, allowing for a deeper, critical, and ordered critique of a fast-moving field - solar power generation forecasting. A systematic review is distinct from a meta-analysis, which is just a statistical summary of results or outcomes.
The utilization of renewable energy as a future energy resource is drawing significant attention worldwide. The contribution of solar energy (including concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar photovoltaic (PV) power) to global electricity production, as one form of renewable energy sources, is generally still low, at 3.6%.
For solar PV, wind and bioenergy for power, deployment has been revised downwards. Solar PV accounts for over 70% of the absolute reduction, mainly from utility-scale projects, while offshore wind demonstrates the largest relative decline in growth over the forecast period, decreasing 27%.
Throughout the paper, we have witnessed the remarkable progress made in solar PV technology, from improvements in cell efficiency and module design to the emergence of innovative deployment methods such as floating solar farms and the integration of energy storage solutions.
