This raises some hard questions: What future fores ight issues and potential consequences should we consider in the energy tr ansition related to solar panels? Who is acknowledging the debt of resourc es connected to life cycle of PV systems as well as the physical vulnerabi lity of solar PV to rapid environmental change ? Preliminary research resu lts are offered\, highlighting several anticipated costs and benefits of s olar PV power to the year 2050 and beyond.\n\nBy attending this talk you w ill learn about:\n\n- The global drive for solar PV power as the renewable energy source to support the global energy supply.\n- The significant exp enditure of raw materials and fossil energy required in every stage of sol ar PV production\n- Interdisciplinary research identifying locations where solar panels face particular risks from climate change related events (ex ample: the Hail Alley of North America)\n- Incoming empirical evidence of solar panel performance\, driving a need for critical infrastructure harde ning engineering studies and extreme weather event forecast capability and capacity\n- Solar PV power risk and vulnerability analysis and step by st ep action plans being reviewed by the IEEE P7800 Working Group: Recommende d Practice for Addressing Sustainability\, Environmental Stewardship and C limate Change Challenges in Professional Practice (see the IEEE Planet Pos itive 2030 initiative)\n\nSpeaker(s): Shona V.Z. de Jong\, \n\nAgenda: \n6 :00 pm Introduction\n\n7:00 pm Adjourn\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.i eee.org/m/446097 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/446097 ORGANIZER:e.perkins@ieee.org SEQUENCE:18 SUMMARY:SusTech Talk Dec 2024 – Harnessing Sunlight for Energy Grids: Fut ure Foresight Considerations for Sustainability URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/446097 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><h2><strong>&ldquo\;Harnessing Sunlight for E nergy Grids: Future Foresight Considerations for Sustainability&rdquo\;</s trong></h2>\n<p>with <strong>Shona V.Z. de Jong</strong><strong>\,</strong > Queens University\, Canada</p>\n<p><strong>Date/Time:</strong> Tuesday\, December 3\, 2024\; 6:00-7:00 pm PST\, 9-10 pm EST</p>\n<p><strong>Abstra ct:</strong></p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">Optimistic predictions envision solar photovoltaic (solar PV) power as the renewable energy sourc e to support the global electricity supply. &nbsp\;This raises some hard q uestions: What future foresight issues and potential consequences should w e consider in the energy transition related to solar panels?
