International Energy Agency (IEA) statistics estimate that global solar PV capacity increased by nearly 50% to almost 510GW in 2023 — the fastest growth rate in the past two decades.

To reach this figure, China commissioned as much solar PV as the entire world did the year before.

But how is solar being used? Aside from more mainstream applications like generating electricity and heating water, this form of renewable power is being harnessed in innovative ways worldwide by some of the world’s biggest companies — innovators in their respective industries.
