The top easily preventable health problems that I see in western societies are: 1. Eating chemically grown food. 2. Exposure to electronically generated harmonic energy from wind and solar power systems. 3. Exposure to harmonic energy from switched mode power supplies (SMPS) that come with modern electronic products. 4. Exposure to wireless radio frequency radiation (RF). 5. Light deficiency from an indoor lifestyle and Low-E double glazed windows. 6. Sound deficiency from heavily insulated homes that are devoid of natural sounds and are extremely quiet. 7. Pollen deficiency from living in man-made cities that are devoid of natural levels of pollen. 8. Natural radiation deficiency from living in homes that block natural levels of environmental radiation. 9. Open drain sickness that occurs when drain traps dry out and faulty vent valves that allow sewer gas to fill the home. 10. Drinking the wrong type of water.

In (largely) gloomy Germany the area needed by PV panels to supply all electricity generation (nearly 560 TWh in 2012) would be considerably larger. With an average PV output of 100 kWh/m2 (the recent annual mean for both roof - and ground-based installations), it would require about 5,600 km2 covered with modules. That would be the equivalent of nearly 1.6% of Germany's total area, 25% of the country's built-up area, or almost 15% of land claimed by settlements and transportation infrastructure; and roughly 2.7 times the total area of all German roofs, based on an estimate of roughly 25 m2 of roof area per person (Waffenschmidt 2008).

Much has also been written about a reverse manifestation of exponential change, about the impressively declining cost of solar photovoltaic cells leading to near-miraculous breakthroughs in solar electricity generation. The latter claim has been particularly popular: I encourage you to check those breathless reports of constantly and rapidly falling photovoltaic (PV) cell prices, and you will see how, if they were the only determinant of the actual cost of PV generation, we would soon be arriving at almost the same place where nuclear generation claims began in the mid-1950s, with solar generation being too cheap to meter, indeed, being absolutely a free give-away. In reality, detailed US data for residential PV systems (twenty-two panels) show that the module cost is now only about 15 percent of the total investment. The rest is needed to cover structural and electrical components (panels must be mounted on supports on roofs or on prepared ground), inverters (to change the direct current to alternating current), labor costs, and other soft costs. Obviously, none of these components, from steel and aluminum to transmission lines, permitting, inspection, and sales taxes, is tending to zero, and hence the overall costs of installation (dollars per watt of direct current delivered by the panels) show a distinctly declining rate of improvement: between 2010 and 2015 they fell by 55 percent, between 2015 and 2020 by 20 percent. And these costs do not include the additional outlays that will have to be made with the increasing share of intermittent sources (solar and wind) in overall electricity generation.

For example, in order to increase wind and solar capacity significantly, we would need to increase the production of concrete, steel, copper and numerous other materials considerably. Even with increased material efficiency, this will mean more mines and more environmental damages in the form of open cast mines, tailings ponds, smelters and pollution. Somewhat ironically, the rare earths required in solar PV, electric cars and wind turbines even leave radioactive waste at scales comparable with uranium mining required for equivalent energy production. Even when uranium

From Chile to China, more solar farms—vast fields of PV panels—sprouted than all other types of power plants combined. And as producers—mostly in Asia—churned out silicon-based panels year after year, they got better at shaving the technology’s costs.

210mm Bifacial PV Modules Market Introduction The market for 210 mm bifacial photovoltaic (PV) modules has emerged as a crucial frontier in the solar energy industry. With the larger wafer size enabling higher power outputs, and bifacial modules capturing reflected sunlight from both the front and rear surfaces, this format offers enhanced energy yield and improved economics. The rise of 210 mm bifacial modules is being driven by escalating demand from utility‐scale solar power plants, technological advancements (especially in N‑type cell architectures), and aggressive deployment in regions such as Asia‑Pacific. As module formats evolve and economies of scale grow, companies are investing heavily in manufacturing capacity for 210 mm bifacial modules. From a strategic standpoint, the adoption of the 210 mm format (and associated technologies such as TOPCon, HJT) represents a shift in the PV value chain, one that promises lower levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) and better performance under real‑world conditions. Market Overview The global 210 mm bifacial PV modules market is projected to grow at a strong pace over the coming years. Estimates indicate a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) ranging from about 9 % to 10.5 % for the period 2025–2033, depending on the source. One forecast pegged market size at approximately USD 12.8 billion in 2024, expanding to USD 28.4 billion by 2033. Another report placed a base size near USD 5.2 billion in 2024 and projected USD 12.7 billion by 2033. Clearly, the large‐format (210 mm) and bifacial combination is gaining momentum. The shift to the 210 mm wafer size has been rapid: for example, industry data suggests that about 80 % of Chinese PV producers had 210 mm capability as of mid‑2022, with 210 mm modules taking a growing share of shipments. The advantages of the format include higher power ratings, improved energy yields (including under low‑irradiance conditions), and lower balance‑of‐system costs per watt. Nevertheless, the market also faces challenges: supply chain bottlenecks, raw material inflation (for silicon, wafers, encapsulation materials), and policies/regulations affecting module trade and incentives. Moreover, deployment in smaller applications (like residential rooftops) may lag compared to utility‑scale, due to cost sensitivity and logistics of larger modules. Overall, the trajectory is strongly positive for 210 mm bifacial modules, especially in large scale power plants and commercial/industrial applications. Key Drivers Several factors are fueling the uptake of 210 mm bifacial modules: Higher energy yield: The bifacial module captures light from both front and rear surfaces; when combined with the large 210 mm wafer size, energy yield gains are noticeable. For example, outdoor testing showed that a 210 mm wafer format module achieved up to 1.6 % higher yield compared to a 182 mm format in certain conditions. Cost reduction: The larger wafer size allows more power per module and fewer modules required for the same output, thereby reducing installation labour, wiring and mounting costs. Further, bifacial modules extract more energy per unit area, improving the economics of projects. Manufacturing scale and capacity expansion: Many manufacturers have invested substantially in large‑format production lines. The 210 mm format is becoming mainstream, thereby driving economies of scale. Policy/regulatory support: Incentives and renewable‑energy targets in many regions are pushing solar deployment. Utility‐scale developers favour high‑power modules (often 600 W+), for which 210 mm bifacial formats are suited. Technological synergy: 210 mm modules are often paired with advanced cell technologies such as N‑type or TOPCon, further improving efficiency, lifespan and performance under low light or high temperature.
