“…Current scenarios for the global primary energy consumption for the year 2050 for a growth in population to 9-10 billion people by the year 2050. WBGU ¼ Exemplary Development Path (WBGU, 2003); Shell: SCA ¼ Spirit of the Coming Age; DAS ¼ Dynamics as Usual (Shell, 2001); WEC: A3 ¼ Growth, B ¼ Business as Usual; C1 ¼ Ecological priority scenario (WEC, 1998); RIGES ¼ Renewable Intensive Scenario (Johannson et al, 1993); Factor 4 ¼ Revolution in Efficient Energy Use (Lovins and Hennicke, 1999); SEE ¼ Solar Energy Economy Nitsch and Staiss, 2003). per year, whereas scenarios with significantly lower energy consumption assume an annual growth rate for the energy productivity of between 1.5% and 2% (Scenario Factor 4 ¼ 2.2%/y).…”

“…A part of the increasing energy demand, however, is compensated by the growing energy productivity of 1.5% per year, so that this scenario is comparable with other high consumption scenarios with respect to the level of energy consumption. In nearly all scenarios shown in Figure 17, RES provides the major share of the energy supplied in 2050, its contribution ranging from 22% in the WEC B scenario to 73% in the Scenario SEE ['Solar Energy Economy', Nitsch and Staiss, 2003)]. In absolute terms, RES will supply between 185 EJ/y (WEC B) and 614 EJ/y (WBGU) in 2050.…”

“…It is expected that approximately 2,50,000 additional deaths per year due to climate change between the years 2030 and 2050. An increase in access to clean, modern, and affordable energy services is advocated in SDG 7 [2]. To ensure healthy lives and promote well-being, an uninterrupted supply of clean, modern, and affordable energy is required, as mentioned in SDG 7.…”

This comprehensive document explores the intersection of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the global transition to renewable energy, with a particular focus on solar energy. The text emphasizes the critical role of reliable and sustainable energy, especially solar power, in achieving health-related SDGs, particularly in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). It discusses the challenges faced by healthcare facilities in these regions, emphasizing the importance of uninterrupted electricity for critical medical equipment and services. The document highlights the increasing significance of solar energy globally and its potential to address challenges in the healthcare sector.The International Energy Agency's (IEA) estimation that solar photovoltaic (PV) energy has become the cheapest source of electricity is discussed, along with the World Bank's active role in supporting solar energy projects in developing countries. The document presents the current status of solarization, emphasizing the exponential growth of solar capacity and generation. It also discusses global initiatives such as Mission Innovation and the contribution of various international aid organizations, including Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), Power Africa, Lighting Global, SolarAid, UNDP -Solar for Health (S4H), and the World Bank.A significant portion of the document focuses on the role of solar energy in healthcare, detailing successful solarization projects in India, sub-Saharan Africa, and other regions. It addresses the challenges of implementing solar PV projects in healthcare facilities, emphasizing the importance of maintenance and proper management. The document also provides insights into the contributions of United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in advancing solar-powered health systems, emphasizing its support to over 80 countries in solarization and off-grid energy solutions for healthcare.In conclusion, this article emphasizes the need for collaboration among international aid organizations, governments, and development partners to ensure universal access to reliable and sustainable electricity, particularly in healthcare facilities. It underscores the importance of long-term planning, sustainability, innovative business models, and awareness campaigns to achieve scalable and impactful results in the intersection of solar energy and healthcare delivery.

The technological innovation systems (TIS) literature has focused strongly on actors, networks and institutions in early development phases of specific technologies. Structures and processes concerned with setting up and developing end-user markets have gained much less attention. Especially in maturing innovation systems, such market-related structures play a decisive role for the long-term success of innovations. The present paper proposes a conceptual framework for analyzing TIS substructures oriented at specific end-user markets. We apply this framework to the creation and maturation of different market segments for photovoltaic applications in Germany. The paper concludes by outlining implications of a more differentiated conceptualization of market processes for TIS research.Markets, systems of innovation, photovoltaic, market dynamics,
