Our cover report looks at some of the milestones the technology has achieved, including its first reported commercial deployment earlier this year. The PV Tech team assesses whether it has the potential to dethrone crystalline silicon as the PV industry’s go-to technology or whether it will be one technology among many in a more diversified portfolio of solar generation technologies. We also feature a report from VDE Americas exploring the extensive bankability challenges the technology must overcome to achieve widespread adoption.
