The Future of PV – First Solar’s Perspective
The history of subsidized, renewable generation is punctuated by repeated boom-bust cycles. The current PV supply/demand imbalance follows the same familiar pattern. Even with module prices well below the magical $1/Wp barrier, demand stimulation remains elusive.
Does PV have a robust future as part of the global generation mix? We believe so, particularly in emerging markets with substantial new generation needs and the specific conditions allowing true "grid parity" in their local markets.
Additional information
Our work is centered around a series of Focus Areas that we believe are the future of science and technology.
We’re continually developing new technologies, many of which are available for Commercialization.
PARC scientists and staffers are active members and contributors to the science and technology communities.
