Solar photovoltaic is our top energy source in the list of 5 fastest-growing energy sources in 2020. Solar photovoltaic is a technology that produced electricity from sunlight. Unlike the wind turbine, it does not have any moving part. In a photovoltaic cell, sunlight removes electrons from their host silicon atoms. While solar photovoltaic produces electricity, solar thermal produces heat. According to the International Energy Agency in 2019 the power generation from solar photovoltaic increased by 22%. Due to this increase, the solar PV share in global electricity generation became almost 3%. In 2019, solar photovoltaic was also the third-largest renewable source of energy. The most famous solar thermal companies in the world are JinkSolar, Candian Solar and SunPower Corporation.
