Emissions continue to go up because relatively speaking renewables are still a small portion of the global energy use and the need for more energy is still rising fast (renewables or not). I assume just the fact that companies (and consumers to a smaller degree) can install solar power and then generate "free" electricity plays a non-insignificant role in getting them to use even more electricity. However, I don't think that's what causes most of the rise. It's all the planned obsolescence electronics we use and throw into the garbage every 2-3 years and other stuff like that. We simply need more energy to build more stuff. At least if we go 100% renewable power and electric vehicles, that will minimize the impact on the planet, even if we double our energy use over the next 50 years. There will also be new energy efficiency technologies that will at least slow down our increase in energy use.
