The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Renewable Energy: Current and Potential Issues (2002, background): “Test cells have reached efficiencies ranging from 20% to 25% (Sorensen 2000), but the durability of photovoltaic cells must be lengthened and production costs reduced several times to make their use economically feasible.”
Towards efficient use of water resources in Europe (2012, background): “Hydropower plants have altered the seasonal or daily flow regimes in many European rivers, resulting in significant impacts on ecosystems (EEA, 2010a; Jansson, 2006; Sørensen, 2000).”
Potential order-of-magnitude enhancement of wind farm power density via counter-rotating vertical-axis wind turbine arrays (2010, background): “These issues represent a principal barrier to the realization of wind energy technology that is both economically viable and socially acceptable (1, 2).”
Solar energy: Markets, economics and policies (2012, unknown): “[13] Sorensen B.”
Potential of Renewable Energy Resources with an Emphasis on Solar Power in Iraq: An Outlook (2019, background): “The German Aerospace Center found that the deserts in Iraq produce a mean power density of 270 W/m2 to 290 W/m2, achieving a peak power density of 2310 kWh/m2/year [25,26].”
