Technology and economics of high-efficiency silicon photovoltaics
High efficiency silicon-based photovoltaics is widely regarded as one of the most competitive platforms for cost-effective solar energy. This presentation will cover key aspects of the technology and economics of high efficiency PV. An overview and some in-depth information on the full value chain, including starting materials, wafers, cells, modules, and systems, will be given. Financial information will include calculation of valuation metrics such as the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), how LCOE should and should not be used, and what the key levers are to reduce LCOE.
