The potential of the Sahara Desert to power the entire world is more than just a fascinating idea—it’s a call to action. Covering 1.2% of the Sahara with solar panels could fundamentally change the way we generate and consume energy.
The vast Sahara receives about 2,500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar irradiance per square metre annually, making it one of the sunniest regions on the planet. Covering just 1.2 per cent of the Sahara with solar panels could generate enough electricity to power the entire world.
Covering the Sahara with solar panels is an epic concept—one that fires the imagination and could truly transform humanity’s relationship with energy. But like all ambitious dreams, it comes with massive costs, risks, and trade-offs.
According to estimates, deserts around the world receive more energy from the sun in just six hours than humanity uses in an entire year. This makes the Sahara not just a good candidate, but the best location on Earth for building large-scale solar farms. How Much Power Are We Talking About? The numbers are staggering.
