DESCRIPTION:In the city of Berkeley, the only way solar energy can be cost-effective is 
 if the local government provides generous subsidies. That’s true just 
 about everywhere in the world. But what if there were a photovoltaic 
 technology that was so cheap and so easy to install that even the poorest 
 and most remote villages of the world could gain access to electricity? In 
 this presentation, learn about discoveries of new materials that can make 
 solar energy a reality for billions.\n\nBy exploiting the powers of 
 nanotechnology and taking advantage of non-toxic, Earth-abundant materials, 
 Cyrus Wadia has fabricated new solar cell devices that have the potential 
 to be several orders of magnitude less expensive than conventional solar 
 cells. And by mastering the chemistry of these materials—and the 
 economics of solar energy—he envisions bringing electricity to the 1.2 
 billion people now living without it. \n\nCyrus Wadia, Ph.D., senior 
 research associate Berkeley Lab (LBNL) is a pioneer in bringing a 
 multidisciplinary approach to solving the complicated issue of renewable 
 energy. Join him in a lively discussion of the promise—and the 
 pitfalls—of solar energy.\n\n
