Future Energy is Silver-Powered

By The Silver Academy

The world’s energy transition hinges on a metal so critical that shortages could derail the green revolution: silver.

For every gigawatt of solar energy produced, 700,000 ounces of silver are consumed—a figure that underscores its irreplaceable role in photovoltaic cells. But as artificial intelligence (AI) military / aerospace use, robotics and data centers demand unprecedented energy, and industries from robotics to batteries race to electrify, a supply crisis looms.

Why is silver the linchpin, and can the mining sector keep up?
