Metals Production Requirements for Rapid Photovoltaics Deployment

Abstract

To supply even a small share of electricity in 2030, several thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technologies, such as CdTe shown here, would require metal production growth rates that exceed those observed historically. In contrast, crystalline silicon could supply a majority electricity share without requiring unprecedented metal growth rates.
