Why Solar PV?
- Global Energy consumption is expected to rise from circa15TW today to circa 30TW by 2050.
- Solar PV has the greatest potential to meet the world’s growing electricity needs when compared to other renewable energy sources. By way of illustration – the energy from 1 hour of sunlight on the earth’s surface is sufficient to meet annual global energy consumption.
- The goal for solar photovoltaic energy production is to achieve ‘grid parity’ i.e. to be cost competitive with the current energy generation. This can only be achieved by reducing the cost per watt of the solar cells/modules produced and increasing their efficiency.
Nines PV aim to address these issues using their novel technology – reducing the cost of production, increasing cell efficiency, improving sustainability of manufacturing and facilitating a scaling in production.
Nines PV aim to change the manufacturing process to remove the heavy reliance on labour, water and high global warming potential chemicals, thereby making the manufacture of solar cells far greener and cleaner.
