The reinforcing triad of decreasing cost, increasing performance and increasing reliability that led to sustained rapid growth of PV over the past decade is now driving a new reinforcing cycle of renewable generation, sector coupling, and electrification. Similar potential exists for coupling renewable generation, carbon-free fuels, and transformation of the industrial sector. A majority role for PV will create new opportunities and challenges for performance and reliability, global manufacturing and supply chains, and sustainability and circularity. This presentation will highlight recent work from groups around the world focusing on technology innovation, PV growth trajectories, modeling of 100% renewable energy systems, trends in embedded energy and carbon in PV manufacturing, advances in PV reliability, and analysis for PV in the circular economy.
