Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Photovoltaics, a mature technology, is set to play a vital role in achieving a carbon-free energy system. This article examines the pivotal role of optics in advancing photovoltaics. We identify key scientific research areas where the optics community can make significant contributions. We are guided by the central question: How can optics facilitate the large-scale deployment of photovoltaics necessary for decarbonizing our societies?
