We at SolarPros feel that educating yourself on the world’s energy sources, renewable energy, and the effects various energy sources have on the environment is of the upmost importance. This is why we’ve compiled a list of the best energy infographics (graphics that allow you to digest a large amount of information in a quick way) so you can better understand what solar is all about. Ingest the information, enjoy, comment, and share away!

Infographic #3: The Graph: Future of Solar Power
Created by the German Advisory Council on Global Change, this infographic depicts the future of solar energy – from 2000 through 2100. You’ll notice that at the far left is our current state of energy use, then as the graph goes on the sources change dramatically, as in 2040 a dramatic inversion occurs. The German government predicts by 2060, solar power will be the largest energy share.
