Solar installations on pace for biggest growth in five years, IHS Markit says

Solar installations across the world are set for their biggest growth in five years in 2021, data research firm IHS Markit said on Wednesday, as countries including China, India and the United States transition further to renewable energy.

A push to tackle climate change and reduce greenhouse emissions has led to a “green wave” of investment in alternative energy forms like wind and solar, with many countries cutting their dependence on dirtier coal and oil.
