NREL Researchers Highlight Opportunities for Manufacturing Perovskite Solar Panels With a Long-Term Vision

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : According to the researchers, the most representative way to assess the environmental impacts of solar panel manufacturing is to look at carbon emissions released during production, embodied energy, sustainable material sourcing, and module circularity.
50% : "The researchers explain that increasing PV module durability, thereby increasing its useful lifetime, is a more effective approach to reducing the net energy, energy payback, and carbon emissions than designing for circularity alone.
