Silver shortage predicted by world bank

[Sparty]

"The International Energy Agency expects solar to become the top source of energy globally by 2027, surpassing coal and natural gas. In the last decade, silver’s use in solar has soared, quadrupling from 50Moz silver to 200Moz silver, annually.

But, the photovoltaics (solar) industry is advancing rapidly, and newer technologies require from 50% to 150% more silver per panel. That really makes solar the 800-pound gorilla, consuming 20% of annual silver supply. Silver is also used in EVs, which require twice as much silver as internal combustion engine vehicles."

50% to 150% more silver per solar panel 2024 from aheadoftheherd.com
9 Mar 2023 — While each solar panel only uses a small amount of silver, with the demand for solar growing every year, it adds up. A new Australian study ...

I asked Gemini to look at the claim of a 150% increase in silver usage....newer technologies require from 50% to 150% more silver per panel?

That statement might be an oversimplification. Here's a more accurate breakdown:

Solar Technology Advancement: The solar industry is constantly innovating, but the impact on silver usage varies.

Increased Silver Use in Some Cases: Some cutting-edge technologies might require more silver to achieve higher efficiencies. However, this isn't always the case.

Focus on Silver Reduction: There's a strong industry push to develop methods that use less or eliminate silver altogether due to cost and resource limitations.

So, it's unlikely that all new technologies will require significantly more silver. The industry is actively looking for alternatives, and some advancements even aim to reduce silver content.
