Abstract

Correction for ‘Metal production requirements for rapid photovoltaics deployment’ by Goksin Kavlak et al., Energy Environ. Sci., 2015, 8, 1651–1659, DOI: 10.1039/C5EE00585J.

There was an error in the footnotes of Table 1. The assumption of 30[thin space (1/6-em)]000 TW h for total global electricity generation was for the year 2030, not 2012. This does not affect the analysis or the results. The note should read as follows.

Note: installed capacity figures rounded to nearest ten GW. Approximate percentage of global electricity is calculated assuming 15% capacity factor for PV14 and a total global electricity generation of 30[thin space (1/6-em)]000 TW h in 2030.11

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
