Solar Power: Achieving Cost Competitiveness
What cost savings can be realized using scalable and differentiated solar
technologies and when?
Solar markets both in Europe and the US are growing rapidly, but are still
very dependent on government subsidies. In order to create a market many
times the size it is today, the industry has to decrease the cost of
cells, modules and installed systems. Thin-film technologies using new
materials have promised a lot, but are still in the process of delivering.
Silicon based technologies, which still represent the vast majority of the
market also drive many avenues to achieve cost reduction.
We will be discussing the cost reduction potential, barriers to achieve
those and expected timelines at our event.
GABA is proud to announce their 2nd annual Clean Technology Industry Group
