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

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.
