We find that it would take a material rise in energy prices and a combination of negative factors for households before there is a visible toll on overall spending. We’re not there yet and anticipate only a marginal impact on consumption at this stage

It has happened again. Since 2002, the IEA has consistently been under-forecasting the pace of solar power adoption. In 2023, solar power capacity additions are – you guessed it – again beating its predictions: they are 24% higher than the IEA said just six months ago and double what it expected in 2020. We believe this illustrates that the adoption of sustainable technologies such as solar energy continues to accelerate.
