…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…
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…
…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…
