An overdue criticism of large-scale solar energy adoption.

Solar energy is the world's largest growing source of power. Recently, this energy transition has produced a series of cognate challenges and conflicts in diverse geographies, yielding effects far beyond electricity generation. Geographies of Solar Energy Transitions illustrates how solar energy governance--both state-based and market-driven--is evolving to address these conflicts. Throughout the book, leading energy scholars examine relevant case studies, drawing necessary attention to the multitude of issues with solar power use, including formulating new place-specific solar energy visions and strategies, financing specific deployment scales, expanding and replacing electricity infrastructure, accessing land, resolving conflicts with competing land uses, incorporating charging technologies for transport and storage, adopting flexible energy production/consumption relationships, displacing fossil fuel energy production with renewables, enabling new energy ownership models, and addressing environmental and social injustices across the value chain of solar expansion.
