Sustainability as a concept impacted our society first as a waste management framework in the 1980s and was documented by the Brundtland report. It was captured by the famous green logo of three arrows drawn in a cyclic way and was used along with the three-Rs keywords framework, that is, Recycle-Reuse-Reduce.
Today, the sustainability movement has reached the government and corporate world in an unprecedented way to the point that everyone talks about it and all companies aim to capitalize on the opportunities created by thinking and operating with the sustainability as the vision impacting all aspects of the economy. Today, sophisticated analysis of processes and products and their interactions with suppliers and buyers and advanced supply chain management methods have been being developed impacting the circular economy thinking. In such circular economy, waste is not an unavoidable burden anymore, but a source of something to be converted and used for a different useful purpose.
The net zero emissions target by 2050 would surely increase the demand for energy generation solutions that are clean and renewable but also use equipment that is recyclable. The sustainability concepts will change the way the various system components are designed, manufactured, transported, used, and ultimately recycled at the end of their lifetime.
Solar Photovoltaics have been at the forefront of technological solutions that have changed the profile of the energy generation industry and the energy mix. Over the last 40 years, solar PV along with the wind energy technologies, they have reached commercial maturity and have been on the road towards increased scalability. It is one of key technologies to assist us in meeting the above-mentioned emissions target. The amount of energy generation capacity that we need to reach the 2050 net zero emission target varies between different energy transition scenarios. However, one thing is certain, the solar photovoltaics will be a major player in the market in search of affordable, renewable and clean energy generation technologies that can be scaled up to deliver what is needed and expected by the society at large.
When applying the sustainability framework on the way the photovoltaics are designed, manufactured, used, and recycled there is a need for solutions that contribute towards high-performance and sustainable photovoltaics.
