Photovoltaics

From atomic nuclei and the sun to hydrogen and recycled fuels, energy sources today originate from a vast array of sustainable sources. This article covers some of the largest up and coming energy sources that contribute to clean energy efforts worldwide.

Increased efficiency and flexibility are two increasingly desirable qualities of photovoltaics, and the implementation of new materials and form factors could reshape the landscape of solar energy. This article covers developments in thin-film photovoltaic technology and the adoption of new materials like perovskites.

The sleekening and thinning down of electronics is a trend that isn't expected to leave any time soon, as miniaturization, seamlessness, and ease of use continue to be driving factors behind the technological developments across a number of industries. This article explores in-mold electronics, photovoltaics, conductive inks, and flexible batteries.

The renewable energy sector is becoming increasingly enriched with the developments of clean, green, and natural power sources, with hydrogen and solar being two of the biggest technology names rising within the industry. This article covers some of their latest applications including solar canopy charging, stationary fuel cells, and hydrogen planes.

Thin film solar cells could be the answer to changing up the photovoltaic market, providing an alternative means of harnessing solar power to the long incumbent heavy and rigid silicon panels. This article covers materials, benefits, and expected growth within the market.

Developments in the renewable energy sector are increasingly generating attention, as sustainability and decarbonization goals are becoming exponentially prevalent. This article covers new technologies from green hydrogen to nuclear fusion.

Nuclei and sun-powered vehicles, emission-free data center ecosystems, and hydrogen-fuelled planes are just some of the potential building blocks of a cleaner energy future. This article explores the future possibilities of developing energy technologies.

Photovoltaic technologies are gaining momentum as a result of solar power being one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources across the world. In 2021, solar installations were seen to overtake wind generation, and in 2023, approximately 450GW of new solar capacity was recorded.

Silver-flake-based inks currently dominate the conductive inks market, but the outlook for non-silver inks is set to change dramatically over the coming decade, with a CAGR of 24%. Stretchable/thermoformable inks and copper inks will seize the largest market share, driven by applications such as in-mold electronics, wearable electrodes, and RFID & smart packaging.
