Policymakers worldwide are committing to achieving 100 percent NetZero clean energy deployment by 2050 to avoid a global temperature rise of 1.5 °C. To meet this goal, there is an inherent need to expedite the transition to renewable, low emission energy sources through all means necessary. In recent years, environmental concerns and cost reduction tactics have catalyzed the clean energy sector’s rapid growth and acted as key drivers in the swift deployment of sustainable power generation.
