The support can be used to develop supply chains of minerals including lithium, rare earth elements, nickel, graphite and silicon.
Renewable energy continues to surprise with much higher build outs and falling prices, and that growth is also good for high-grade silicon producers.
An infographic recently published on Visual.ly shows conservative and optimistic projected demand for silicon. Either scenario shows a steep move up.
Solar-grade silicon accounts for just under half the material cost of constructing a photovoltaic cell’s cost.
