"From crazy vision to 698 GW" - indeed, what a development. However, we head for new frontiers with total installed capacity of 75 TW in mid-century and 150-200 TW by end of the century - for a real Solar Civilisation. www.ise.fraunhofer.de/de/veroeffen... ; doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

PV researchers determined that a sustained global growth in photovoltaics of 25 percent per year over the next decade is prerequisite for achieving a climate-neutral global energy system by 2050.
From ‘crazy vision’ to 698 GW: How a bold solar forecast became too conservative
