PV CELLS: WHICH CELL CONCEPTS WILL SECURE THE FUTURE?
Summary
Crystalline silicon technology
has a share of more than
90% of the expanding global
PV market. Recent
technological advances have
boosted cell efficiency and
contributed to the
development of new cell
concepts. This session
discusses advancements in
various cell types.
Technological achievements
have accelerated the
learning curve and reduced
costs, so that the cost of
solar power generated on
people's roofs is now lower
than the cost of utility-
bought electricity.

PV MANUFACTURING: WHAT DEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO COPE WITH COP21?
Summary
The Paris COP 21 climate
objectives require renewable
energies to be deployed at
an even faster rate. PV
manufacturing is constantly
improving. This session
explores various
developments supporting the
progress in crystalline silicon
PV production by identifying
manufacturing and
technology issues for each
part of the value chain. Will
PV power soon be able to
compete with the cheapest
form of electricity
generation?
