Solar power produced around 1.3 terrawatt-hours (TWh) worldwide in 2022, representing 4.6% of the world''s electricity. Almost all of this growth has happened since 2010. Solar energy can be harnessed anywhere that receives sunlight; however, the amount of solar energy that can be harnessed for electricity generation is influenced by weather conditions, geographic location and time of day.
