Material Requirement and Resource Availability for Silicon Photovoltaic Laminate Manufacturing in the Next 10 Years

Seyed M. Heidari et al.

Summary: Material scarcity poses a significant threat to the energy transition towards renewables, particularly in the context of increasing photovoltaics installations in the next decade. This study evaluated the impacts of potential technology improvements on the quantity of materials needed for manufacturing silicon PV laminate, showing that considering advancements in technology can significantly reduce material requirements. Additionally, it was found that solar glass and Metallurgical grade silicon are expected to have the highest material demand in the next decade.
