Abstract
[Figure presented]Ian Marius Peters is a physicist with over 20 years of experience in photovoltaic research. He has authored more than 300 scientific publications on sustainable energy systems, photovoltaic (PV) technologies, artificial intelligence in energy, and solar cost modeling. His career spans leading institutions including Fraunhofer ISE, SERIS, and MIT. He currently heads the High Throughput Field Inspections and Recycling group at the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nuremberg for Renewable Energy (HI-ERN), part of Forschungszentrum Jülich. Dr. Peters received the 2021 Hamakawa Award for his contributions to PV energy conversion and a 2023 ERC Consolidator Grant for PV cradle-to-cradle recycling research. [Figure presented]Christian Breyer is professor of solar economy at LUT University, Finland, specializing in high-resolution modeling of 100% renewable energy systems across all sectors and scales. He has published over 400 scientific papers, including more than 200 journal articles, with research focused on integrated power, heat, transport, industry, and power-to-X solutions. His team leads globally in studies on fully renewable energy transitions. Previously, he worked at Reiner Lemoine Institut and Q-Cells. He serves on numerous scientific and policy advisory boards, including ETIP PV, IEA-PVPS, and the IPCC. Prof. Breyer holds a PhD in electrical engineering and has a multidisciplinary academic background.
