Not less silver, MORE silver. That's where we are headed. The newer solar panels will be much more effective, more output, with more silver.
So figure it out.
The biggest part of the story is china is starting to doubleside it's solar panels, so that means twice the silver...and they've figured out they can't cheap out on silver by mixing in copper else it degrades performance way too much. So, there will be
a constant increase in silver in perpetuity. Some are favoring nuclear everywhere, but all it's going to take is a natural disaster or war damaging a nuclear power plant to take all that off the table. Also, people are trying to hope that there will
be advances in graphene at some point, but even that won't replace silver as it's expected that graphene will be used in conjunction with silver if and when they do make those advancements. And, not to worry about recycling hurting demand for silver
either as it's just too expensive to recycle in nearly all cases and probably won't even be worth a mention until silver goes beyondf $100/oz.
