The transition to a sustainable and resilient future depends on the strategic prioritization of renewable energy and innovative technologies. As global challenges such as climate change, energy insecurity, and resource depletion intensify, the importance of investing in these fields has never been more critical.

Investments in renewable energy—such as solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal—are pivotal not only for reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also for fostering energy independence and economic growth. These technologies enable the decarbonization of energy systems while addressing the pressing need for clean, affordable, and reliable energy. Moreover, they create opportunities for innovation in energy storage, grid optimization, and smart systems, which are essential for integrating intermittent renewable sources into existing infrastructures.

The journal of Solar Energy and Sustainable Development (JSESD) aims to contribute significantly to the field by publishing the researches that shed light on everything new in the fields of renewable energy technologies and applications, and try to highlight the importance of investing in them, which will have a positive impact on the environment in addition to creating job opportunities and benefiting from human resources and available economic resources.

This special issue has been specified to publish the high-quality papers that were presented in First International Conference on Technical Sciences (FICTS-2024) with a title of Investing in Renewable Energies. The conference was held on 11 November 2024 SEBHA/LIBYA. The selected papers covered areas such as; Renewable Energy Sources and their Applications, Renewable Energy technologies, Sustainable Renewable Energies and Prospects for Investment in Renewable Energies.

As an essential process to maintain high standards of papers publication at (JSESD). All selected papers have been subjected to the evaluation according to the peer review process which led to eight published papers.
