It is expected that photovoltaic (PV) solar energy will become the new king of global power markets. This is a strong statement backed by the International Energy Agency (IEA), based on PV expansion currently being at its fastest pace, with an even much faster pace projected in the coming years. The low cost of PV solar energy is explicitly noted as driving the global demand for renewables. In fact, PV solar is currently cheaper than any power source ever before. Hence, PV is foreseen as key energy for decarbonizing our economy. There is a consensus that the annual PV market will need to grow to 1 TWp (first and later even to 3 TWp) before 2050. Such huge production capacity numbers are going to challenge various key sustainability aspects, which will be addressed in this advanced PV course.
These topics are:
- Materials with low carbon footprint and energy payback time, i.e., sustainable thin film and multi-junction concepts
- Multifunctional integration, i.e., integrated PV solar cell and module design
- Reliability, re-use, and recyclability
- Local production, i.e., within Europe or even Belgium
