Surface Area Required to Power the World with Solar Panels Alone

Surface Area Required to Power the World WITH ZERO CARBON EMISSIONS, AND. Boxes to-scale with map: 1980 (based on actual use) 207,368 SQUARE KILOMETERS 2008 (based on actual use) 366,375 SQUARE KILOMETERS 2030 (projection) These 19 contiguous areas show roughly what would be a reasonable responsibility for various parts of the world. They would be further divided many times, the more the better to reach a diversified infrastructure that localizes use as much as possible. 496,805 SQUARE KILOMETERS Required area that would be needed in the year 2030 is shown roughly distributed around the world relative to use and weather The large square in the Saharan Desert (1/4 of the overall 2030 required area) would power all of Europe and North Africa. Though very large, it is still 18 times less the pattern. total area of that desert.
