Abstract:For many years, Photovoltaic (PV) solar technology was believed not possible to be cost effective and not even close to the cost for electricity production compared to fossil fuels. Surprisingly, the fact is that low cost but powerful and long-Iasting solar modules can now be mass produced at the scale of over 60GW per year which makes the LCOE (Ievelizedcost of electricity) of latest PV systemcost competitive with any other technologies. Similarly, for ion implant technology in solar applications, which were … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
