Fossil fuels and solar energy are linked as primary components in the global energy transition, where solar energy is positioned as a renewable alternative to replace fossil fuel dominance [1], [2], [3]. They are also compared in terms of their functional roles, such as their transportability [4], their potential for substitution [5], and their complementary relationship within electricity generation systems [6], [7], [8].
