Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Solar Trillions is an eye-opening work that evaluates the various clean-energy opportunities using a helpful framework to assess their overall attractiveness. The author does a fine job sizing each market opportunity in an intuitive way.
Here are three items I found particularly interesting:
- "Solar power . . . would need less than one-tenth (8.1% to be exact) of the land space requirements of the oil and gas industries to generate all our electricity needs." - Tony Seba, Solar Trillions, p. 18.
- The patchwork nature of our deteriorating grid presents serious challenges to our global competitiveness and represents a tremendous opportunity for the companies that become the Ciscos and GEs of the new grid.
- The plight of the millions of people that lack fresh water and rely on kerosene to cook and power their modest homes was eye-opening. It's fantastic to know that low cost, solar alternatives exist to dramatically raise the quality of these people's lives.

Solar Trillions reveals market opportunities worth $35+ trillion of the $382 trillion the world will spend in energy by 2050. The author shows immediate as well as long-term market opportunities and why science facts and tech trends make solar inevitable. Here are the seven amazing opportunities.1: Desert Power: $9 trillionTo provide all of America's electricity today, we would need just 100-by-100-mile square of desert.2: Powering Industry: $7.1 trillion24/7 solar power is here-and can reliably run factories & industry.3. Island/Village Power: $2.6 trillionTwo billion people around the world, thousands of islands, andmillions of villages, pay up to 10 times today's solar cost.4: Power to the People: $8.7 trillionWith Solar BIPV, walls, windows, and bricks will make money for building owners.5: Bottled Electricity: $1.5 trillionWe will hit peak water before we hit peak oil.6: Energy in a Box: $5 trillionThe race for electricity storage/batteries is on. Solar CSP is way ahead.7: Internet Times Ten: $6.5 trillionThe eBay of the smart grid is here.
