TSEP#195 What's Next for the Future of Silicon Solar Cells?


Listen Later

Silicon solar cells have been the backbone of the recent solar boom and will continue to be the driving force behind an energy transition with a high proportion of cost-effective solar power available in the future. The groundbreaking technological development of silicon PV technology has led to significant efficiency gains.

At the 15th Silicon PV International Conference on Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaics 2025, to be held in Oxford from 8-11 April, scientists and industry representatives will discuss what we can expect from silicon solar cells in the coming years.

Ahead of the conference, we spoke to Sebastian Bonilla and Matthew Wright (both chairpersons of SiliconPV 2025) from the University of Oxford about the hot topics in silicon PV research and product development.
