Evaluation of critical materials in five additional advance design photovoltaic cells

Abstract

This section summarizes the results of the screening of the baseline and sensitivity case advance design photovoltaic cells. The material supply constraints identified in this report are based on the assumption that 25 GWp of an individual advance design photovoltaic cell are deployed by 2000 (see Chapter 2.0 for a discussion of deployment scenarios). Assuming a slower rate of photovoltaic cell deployment would obviously reduce the severity of the material supply constraints. Our particular deployment scenario was chosen to show type maximum plausible material supply constraints facing photovoltaic cells.
