Perovskite Tandems, Floating PV, VIPV and More…

Those who know me will know that I'm a man of many words — especially on topics that I'm passionate about, like rugby, records, and solar (to name a few).

So when I was approached to appear as a guest on The Clean Energy Revolution podcast and be interviewed by climate activist, environmental scientist, and ethical influencer Laura Young, I didn't hesitate to accept.

The podcast episode focuses on novel PV applications – and there truly isn’t anything more novel than its headline theme: space-based solar arrays. While we kept things closer to home our interview, we still addressed the cutting edge. 

The segment spanned the gamut of new and emerging solar applications, including: floating PV, vehicle-integrated PV, building-integrated PV, and I was even able to sneak in a little on the promise of perovskite-tandem technology. It also provided me with the opportunity to introduce Laura to a handful of solar industry acronyms, such as FPV, VIPV, and BIPV (anyone for alphabet soup?).
