According to UN estimates, the world population will reach 8.5 billion in 2030, and will rise to as much as 9.7 billion by 2050. Virtually all this growth will be absorbed by urban areas. According to the 300Research report, the analytical group of the 300gospodarka portal and Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, the cities occupying only 3 percent of Earth's surface simultaneously consume up to 80 percent of produced energy worldwide and are responsible for 75 percent of all CO2 emissions. The report focuses especially on solar technologies, showing their particular attractiveness for Polish cities. It also indicates the sources of financing for necessary investments.
In Poland, the mass use of photovoltaics in cities on a large scale will become possible as soon as the government introduces the amendment to the RES Act announced in September 2019, which will allow the production of energy from solar cells to offices, housing cooperatives, and small companies.
