Conclusions - 1

Progress in silicon wafer-based technology with time has determined the price-
learning curve of PV modules that shows a decrease of about 20% for each
doubling of capacity.
This progress has two driving forces: market size and technological
improvement.
This did not happen by chance but is the result of the combination of market
assisting measures and research, development and demonstration activities with
both private and public support.

Crystalline silicon based technology has the capability to continue following the
established price experience curve, with direct production costs expected to
achieve significant reduction to around 1.00 €/W in 2013 and 0,75 €/W in 2020
and even lower in the long term.

This will happen if R&D effort is directed to address the most critical issues and
the technology areas most likely to allow a continued progress of PV towards full
sustainability.
Conclusions - 2

In the long term, it is expected that silicon technology will still play an important
role in the PV sector, although there is uncertainty regarding the precise module
efficiency, the silicon consumption, the cell and module architecture and
component materials after 2020, when the market size is expected to be around
30 GW/year.

It is likely that silicon technology by this time will have incorporated aspects
which are now related to novel or emerging technologies, and that new materials
will also be included in the processing sequences.

In the long run, true distinctions between wafer and thin film technologies and
between cells and modules may no longer be appropriate.

In the long term, it is expected that module efficiency will exceed the current
laboratory record.
This may only be possible by incorporating technologies at the periphery of the
device such as up or down converters. For this reason, basic and applied
research on advanced concepts and materials should be included in crystalline
silicon projects.
