Solar shines on silver demand

Every solar panel contains between 15 and 20 grams of silver.

According to a new report from Environment America Research & Policy Center:

"The United States has the potential to produce more than 100 times as much electricity from solar PV and concentrating solar power (CSP) installations as the nation consumes each year."

Additionally, president and CEO of solar panel-maker SunPower Tom Werner says solar could be a $5 trillion industry sometime within the next 20 years, calling it “one of the greatest ever opportunities in the history of markets.”
