Solar passes nuclear in global electricity generation

From Jan Rosenow 

 An historic milestone: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source.

In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up.

My comments:

1.   Note the strong (global) seasonality, which is presumably duplicated in individual countries.  To cope with this, i.e., to allow for low insolation in winter, we'll need 50% more solar than we'll need in summer (except where air conditioning is a big component of electricity demand.)  To some extent, wind is negatively correlated with solar, so having both in your grid will make life simpler.  However, solar is getting so cheap, having "excess" solar is not a deal-breaker.
2. It's an S-curve.  It's likely to triple again over the next 5 years, too.
