11 Market trends of technical innovations - Qu Vadis PV? Introduction of a new technology follows the logistic function or S-shape curve * Development of railway technology (1830 until 1890)** Development of PV module installations follows a similar rule but how in detail? N t = G 1 + e k(c t) G = 1.5 Mio. km k = 0.08; c = 1895 G = 9.0 TWp k = 0.38; c = 2024 Life cycle bell-shaped curve year 0 boom years year of saturation S-shape curve of cumulative growth logistic growth approx. * Meyers Konversations Lexikon, Leipzig1894 ** D. Kucharavy et. al.; Application of S-Shape Curve, TRIZ Future Conference 2007, Frankfurt
12 Historic market trends of technical innovations Progress in a technology can be visualized in price experience curves Log log plot of price vs. volume sold While sold volume doubles the price is reduced by a certain factor DRAM: price experience factor 40%* TFT - displays: price experience factor 35%* PV-modules: price experience factor 21% * W. Hoffmann; Perspektiven der Photovoltaik, Physik Journal Februar 2014, Whiley VCH Verlag GmbH, Weinheim 12
13 The PV module price experience curve The challenging price race of the PV industry QU VADIS? clear goal: competitive PV-based power generation What measures have to be taken to keep path? The ITRPV roadmap describes the way 13

16 [g/cell] ITRPV results materials - cell Pastes are most costly non - Si materials - Ag accounts for 10% of Cell price and depends strongly on Ag pricing! Reduction is mandatory as Silver is most expensive material Challenge to paste suppliers, printing technologies, module interconnection - supposed replacement by Cu (delayed due to reliability and availability) 0,160 0,140 0,120 0,100 = 4.9 $cent/wp ( 30%) 48t/GWp 730t 2012 (30GW) (2012 values)l 100% = 2.3 $cent/wp ( 14%) 33t/GWp 920t 2013 (40GW) 90% 80% = 1.7 $cent/ Wp ( 10%) 24t/GWp 1100t 2014 (46GW) 70% 60% 0,080 50% 16 0,060 0,040 0,020 0, Silver per cell Plating in production 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Plating in production?
