Abstract
Professor Martin Green speaks on the past and current impact of the UNSW PV Group on both research and the production of silicon solar cells.
Projections of the world's future energy needs have been analysed by Bloomberg and Prof. Green shows how photovoltaic technology is and will be an important tool in meeting these energy needs.
UNSW will be working toward the production and transfer to industry of the PERC technology as well as the development of viable tandem cells.
