Predictions reveal that capacity of solar collecting power plants will be 30GW in 2020, 140GW in 2030, and 800GW in 2050, which show a very rapid growth. Based on these predictions and estimation of average use of aluminium, total amount of used aluminium in CSP plants will be 1.1 and 8 million tons in 2020 and 2030.
Expectations include the development of more efficient and durable solar panels, facilitated by advancements in aluminium alloys and manufacturing techniques. As the global transition towards renewable energy accelerates, aluminium will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of solar energy technology.
Recent innovations in aluminium technology have further expanded its applications in the solar industry. Thin-film solar panels, which utilize minimal amounts of aluminium, offer flexibility and lightweight characteristics, making them suitable for various installations, including curved surfaces and portable devices.
Additionally, aluminium’s high conductivity allows for improved energy transfer within solar panels, enhancing their overall efficiency. By minimizing energy losses, aluminium contributes to maximizing the electricity generated from solar energy, ultimately increasing the return on investment for users. 5. Innovations in Aluminium Usage
Despite its numerous advantages, aluminium faces challenges such as corrosion in certain environments. However, advancements in coating technologies and surface treatments have improved aluminium’s resistance to corrosion, ensuring the longevity of solar panels in diverse climates.
