Emerging economies are embracing solar power faster than the West

Original: The solar boom is rapidly transforming emerging economies

Emerging economies are adopting solar power at a pace that outstrips Europe and the United States, skipping much of the fossil fuel stage that industrialized nations relied on. The rapid expansion of cheap solar is reshaping energy systems across the developing world, with analysts noting these countries may leapfrog directly to renewables.

Why now: A report showing developing nations are leapfrogging fossil fuels challenges assumptions that the energy transition is led by wealthy countries.
