…up non-valuable co-associated rocks, which requires 400 kWh/ton to reach an average temperature of 1,350ºC. (8) Silicon stands out for its ridiculously high energy intensity. We think that making solar…

Semiconductors: outlook in energy transition?

…chain for semiconductors starts with silica mining (350MTpa globally), then production of silicon metal (8.5MTpa globally) in an arc furnace; then 99.999% pure polysilicon (1MTpa globally) via the Siemens process…

Perovskites: Lord of Light?

Perovskite Efficiency Gains

Perovskites are the fastest-improving solar innovation. The best test-cells hit a new record of 28% efficiency last year, with line-of-sight to the mid-30s, i.e., 2x more efficient than today’s silicon

Solar costs: four horsemen?

Could solar costs re-inflate?

…challenges, which could stifle future deflation or even re-inflate solar. Most debilitating would be a re-doubling of CO2-intensive PV-silicon. Our 15-page report explores re-inflation risks for solar developers. $499.00 – Purchase Checkout…
