Great ref, from Germany’s energy mix!
Here’s an S-curve model I made based on two maximum carrying capacities for solar; the lower bound is the current amount of farmland devoted to ethanol while the upper bound is 1% of the earth’s surface. Data models based on historical growth in solar [1].
I show the current total electricity usage and the total energy usage. These are growing slowly worldwide, around 2%.

We are deep into the massive exponential growth of solar. Can we keep it up?
