Academics are working tirelessly to facilitate the development of renewable energy technologies and to advance knowlege on issues of policy. This week we interview Ralph Gottschalg, who is heading up the PV2025 project. An initiative based in the University of Loughborough, which aims to answer a number of questions relating to the development of PV, and how geography, legislation and social factors might impact on the costs and benefits to the country.
