A very small percentage so far, 0.05%. However, scientists and the public are looking to have more of the world's energy come from solar power plants.
"Solar power...would represent the annual output from 150 coal-fired power plants" by 2025, the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) and Greenpeace said. The report said photovoltaic systems, which turn sunlight into power, now generate 0.05 percent of world electricity and could rise to 2.5 percent in 2025, the main horizon for the report, and then leap to 16 percent in 2040.
Not many people know this, but solar, wind, and electricity only account for less than 1% of the worlds energy combined.
