Silver
in Photovoltaics: 2010 identifies and quantifies the opportunities for silver
and silver products in the rapidly changing photovoltaics (PV) industry. Silver
in Photovoltaics: 2010 considers silver inks and pastes and various hybrid
materials that are used in PV; materials such as transparent conductive silver-containing
composites.
With the end of the silicon shortage, crystalline silicon, for which silver
is the dominant electrode material, seems less threatened by thin film PV (TFPV)
than it did a year or so back. How good is this news for silver? TFPV, in its
various forms, is still expected to gain share in the PV market and has yet
to firm up on the electrode materials that it will use going forward. As TFPV
technologies mature, will silver be a winner or loser?
Silver
in Photovoltaics: 2010 answers these questions and many more. Silver
in Photovoltaics: 2010 also examines the potential revenues for silver in
PV in the light of NanoMarkets’
revised PV projections given the current economic situation and prospects for
renewable energy worldwide
