The sun radiates more energy to the Earth in a few hours than the entire human population consumes from all sources in a year. This means that solar panels, paired with batteries to enable power at night, can produce several orders of magnitude more electricity than is consumed by the entirety of human civilisation.12

If the solar industry is to generate 40 per cent of our electricity needs by 2050, more than 400 gigawatts of capacity would need to be installed each year for the next 25 years. With global production in 2012 at a little over 30 gigawatts, Musk and his team believe there’s lots of room for expanded production. His reference to battery storage is also significant. And that leads us to the story of the electric car.
