Science, geopolitics and economics of solar photovoltaic energy

In this article I show a brief mix of science (obtaining silicon), geopolitics (China’s hegemony) and economics (evolution of solar photovoltaic energy costs). Cycle of obtaining a photovoltaic module from its raw material: silicon. Here I focus on obtaining silicon The solar photovoltaic energy production industry owes its success, among other reasons, to obtaining high-purity … Continue reading Science, geopolitics and economics of solar photovoltaic energy →
