Questions
- Is there enough space available on roofs of houses and buildings for solar panels; and these roofs suitable for solar panels in terms of load capacity and orientation?
- How can the yield of solar panels be further increased. This could include other materials for the wafers, bi-facial panels, cooling of panels, etc.?
- Are there enough raw materials available for solar panels?
- What is a good location for solar panels, is offshore also an option ? Note: a pilot project is already being carried out by Oceans of Energy in the North Sea.
- Is only light also sufficient for generating energy? In that case, what is the yield
- How can solar panels be recycled, what are the costs?
