Star scientists in PV technology and the limits of academic entrepreneurship

.

Chapter 6 in The Revolution in Energy Technology, 2018, pp 93-107 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Chapter 6 analyses the contribution of star scientists to the development of solar photovoltaic technology. It is found that the technology was launched and keeps moving forward with major investments of large user companies and individual efforts from universities and academic stars. In contrast to biotechnology, star scientists, whatever their contribution, are comparatively minor players in solar photovoltaic technology.
