From Silicon to Sunlight explores the full journey of solar panel optimization—from the 1980s’ early crystalline silicon modules to the smart, high-efficiency tandem systems expected by 2060.

We break down how efficiency improvements, cost collapses, perovskite breakthroughs, bifacial modules, smart grids, and battery storage reshaped global energy markets. This episode connects materials science, manufacturing scale, and climate policy into one coherent story of transformation.

Solar energy is no longer an alternative technology—it is becoming the backbone of 21st-century infrastructure.
