abstract = {Cost-efficient climate change mitigation requires the
continued rapid expansion of the photovoltaic (PV) system
production to the multi-TW level. The PV industry is
currently transforming into a key industry sector, which
implies that sustainability aspects will have increasingly
wide-ranging impacts. We identify four paradigm shifts that
can enable a sustainable TW-scale transformation and that
address power conversion efficiency, materials, circularity,
and social aspects. It will be discussed if and how these
can be accomplished with state-of-the-art silicon-based PV
technologies and which transformative potential is offered
by novel perovskite PV technologies:A change to highly
efficient multijunction architectures can reduce materials
consumption but implies higher materials complexity. By
replacing fossil fuel-based technologies and also by
switching from wafer-based to thin film technologies, PV
will reduce global mining activities but may create new
supply risks and resource complexities (Fig. 1a). Although
end-of-life material streams lag behind PV production by
several decades, material circularity needs to be
anticipated already in the $R\&D$ stage to manage huge
future waste streams efficiently. Finally, social aspects
especially during production but also in serving all
humanities energy needs are an integral part of
sustainability and are essential for a wide acceptance of
the technology.In the temporal scale, these sustainability
challenges fall into two distinct phases (Fig. 1b): a first
phase, until mid-century, when rapid PV capacity expansion
to mitigate climate change needs to be the main focus, and a
second phase where material circularity will become
critical. These phases need to be understood and addressed
in a multi-dimensional, path dependent optimization
approach. Thereby perovskite PV can play a pivotal role to
achieve optimum sustainable yield for multi-TW scale
photovoltaics.},
