SolarPower Europe’s Sustainability Task Force has launched Solar Facts, a set of documents based on scientific, peer-reviewed sources that highlight how solar energy contributes to social, economic and environmental sustainability.
The factsheets cover five key topics related to solar, including: cost and efficiency, sustainability, employment and job creation, materials usage and recycling.
Key findings from the factsheets are available in the form of social media cards which can be shared on social networks.

Based on current material production levels, it would already be possible to provide enough resources to power all electricity worldwide with solar by 2050 @SolarPowerEU #solarfacts
The few critical raw materials and precious metals used in the manufacturing of solar panels are gradually being replaced, reduced and recycled @SolarPowerEU #solarfacts
The solar industry keeps raising the bar on material efficiency, helping to overcome material criticality and increasing solar competitiveness @SolarPowerEU #solarfacts
