"Over the past two decades, solar power has been undergoing a revolution.
Billions of panels have been shipped to all parts of the globe.
Lined up in vast arrays out in the desert and tucked away on discreet rooftops,
they’ve been turning sunlight into terawatts of power.
Climate-tech startup TransitionZero has scoured the world’s surface for medium-
and large-scale installations, using machine learning to pick them out of
satellite imagery.
The individual farms are too small to see from a distance, so we’ve sliced up
the globe into a 50-kilometre grid and visualised them that way here.
The data reveals how, in recent years, the installation of solar farms has
accelerated into an all-out frenzy.
This massive growth spurt has propelled solar from bit player to a sizeable
chunk of the planet’s energy mix.
And it’s taken less than two decades."
