Researchers and start-ups are actively working to design increasingly resource-efficient panels, exploring strategies such as reducing the thickness of silver tracks, using copper, and relying on wafers free of silicon ingots. All of these approaches are carefully studied.
Gaëtan Masson, president of the Becquerel Institute, a Belgian consulting firm specializing in the sector, points out that, according to market projections and taking into account current technologies, the photovoltaic industry might absorb 30 to 60% of demand. world silver by 2028 or 2030.
These figures highlight the scale of the challenge posed by the demand for materials in the context of the widespread use of solar energy.
