Metal production requirements for rapid photovoltaics deployment

Metal production requirements for rapid photovoltaics deployment

As global photovoltaics (PV) deployment grows, the required input materials need to be supplied at an increasing rate. In this paper, we quantify the effect of PV deployment levels on the scale of metal production. For example, we find that if cadmium telluride {copper indium gallium diselenide} PV...
