It sounds like the ultimate clean energy dream: cover 1.2% of the Sahara Desert with solar panels, and you'd generate enough electricity to power the entire world. That’s 51+ billion panels across 335,000 km² of desert sun.
But beneath the vision lies a storm of challenges—dust, heat, climate disruption, and massive transmission losses. Plus, the logistics and cost are staggering. Experts now believe the real future is in decentralized solar networks, spread across the globe for resilience, independence, and efficiency.
Big dreams are good—but smarter, smaller ones might change the world faster.
