The solar industry is a growing market that could potentially give silver producers a boost. However, it is not the largest consumer of silver. Most of the markets that silver serves follow traditional supply-and-demand economics, with competition based on price, product line, and service.
Although thrifting in solar photovoltaic cell manufacturing may present headwinds for industrial silver demand in renewables generation, the potential for greater silver consumption in the rapidly growing electric vehicle market offers new market opportunities for industrial silver use.
The need for silver in the generation of solar energy is widely publicized, and with good reason – the conductive silver paste found on the front and back of most PV cells represents the potential for a substantial increase in global silver demand, although the effects of thrifting pose a perennial risk.
These two factors – thrifting and efficiency increases – may decrease silver loadings enough that it would take a significant increase in solar capacity's growth rate to keep silver demand from slipping – an increase that the industry as it currently stands will not be able to deliver in the long term.
The ongoing revolution in green technologies, driven by the mainstream adoption and exponential growth of new energy vehicles (NEVs) and the continued investment in solar photovoltaic energy, should form an increasingly important part of industrial demand for silver in the future.
CRU expects silver loadings in solar PV to continue declining through 2030, albeit at a slower pace than during the past 10 years. Moreover, it is important to note that silver's unique conductive properties ensure that substitute materials will not be able to match it in terms of energy output per panel.
