Emerging economies adopt solar power faster than West

Original: Emerging economies are embracing solar power and skipping fossil fuels much faster than Europe or the US

Emerging economies are adopting solar power at a pace that far outstrips Europe and the United States, in many cases bypassing fossil fuel infrastructure altogether. Analysts say falling panel prices and rising electricity demand are driving a leapfrog effect, with countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America building renewable capacity much faster than wealthy Western economies did at a comparable stage of development.

Why now: New reporting highlights the surprising speed at which developing countries are shifting to solar, challenging assumptions about global energy transitions.
