Author's note : Solar technology and global environmental justice: The vision and the reality

Author

  • Andreas Roos

Summary, in English

When most of us think of solar technology, we picture photovoltaic panels on sunny rooftops capturing clean energy for self-sufficient households.

But the way solar technology relates to global environmental and social problems is actually very different.
