Summary ITR<strong>PV</strong><br />

ITR<strong>PV</strong> shows:<br />

- ways to reach cost reduction of <strong>PV</strong> generated electricity<br />

- Efficiency improvements have to be implemented without huge cost increases<br />

- costs per piece have to be reduced continuously in parallel to efficiency increases<br />

ITR<strong>PV</strong> is a common plat<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> manufacturers, suppliers, and customers<br />

Conclusion:<br />

- Further reduction of Si-<strong>PV</strong> manufacturing cost is possible<br />

without sacrificing quality and reliability<br />

- Increasing cell efficiencies will support the cost reduction<br />

Next Steps of ITR<strong>PV</strong>:<br />

- Include more manufactures from Asia and America<br />

- Create subgroups w/ focus on high-eta / rear-side concepts<br />

- Include equipment and material suppliers to provide solutions<br />

- Consider more system trends 29<br />
