How do we reduce the carbon impact of an already green technology? This is the question that NREL researchers Hope Wikoff, Samantha Reese, and Matthew Reese tackle in their new paper in Joule, “Embodied Energy and Carbon from the Manufacture of Cadmium Telluride and Silicon Photovoltaics.” In the paper, the team focuses on the two dominant deployed photovoltaic (PV) technologies: silicon (Si) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) PV. These green technologies help reduce carbon emissions...
