We evaluate the suitability of solar-wind deployment focusing on three aspects: solar/wind exploitability, accessibility, and interconnectability, as elaborated in Supplementary Table S3. . Can a solar-wind system meet future energy demands? Accelerating energy transition towards renewables is central to net-zero emissions. However,building a global power system dominated by solar and wind energy presents immense challenges. Image by Josh Bauer, NREL Project could have the same total energy generation capacity. .
