I believe there will be an increase in energy production through solar energy and the development of methods used in generating electricity with low economic cost. I think someday, most of the energies that will be generated will come from solar energy
Rationale: where sunlight is available in excess, heating is a lesser requirement. And while solar heat either requires local consumtion, or conversion to the easily transportable form of electricity, PV directly "generates" the easily transportable form.
Thus I expect further evolution in the fields of solar cells (conversion efficiency, spectrum converted) and inverters (mainly efficiency) and some efforts in energy storage (batteries, conversion to chemical energy storage via H2 generation).
