Solar technologies overview Solar Power
Concentrated Solar Power
Photovoltaic (PV)
… concentrate sunlight to heat source fluid for a conventional power plant. CSP cannot be deployed at small scale and geographic range is limited
… direct conversion of sunlight into electricity through photoelectric effect. PV supports broad functional applications from roof-tops to large farms at competitive energy value Thin Film Technologies

c-Si
Long energy payback Susceptible to poly Si price fluctuations Complicated manufacturing process Higher cost Upside potential not significant for further cost reduction Proven production
TF-Si
Page 5 / Wednesday, April 27, 2011
Shortest energy payback Abundant raw material Non-toxic/Clean Favorable behavior in high temperature & low light conditions Proven production Upside for technology & cost improvements Simpler manufacturing process Low material requirement Favorable CoO
CdTe
Limited production due to exotic/rare material Use of toxic material Technology not available on open market for new manufacturing Favorable CoO due to GW scale production
CIGS
Use of exotic/rare material Use of toxic material Good lab results but not production proven Complex process To date high investment cost with low results

Module Capacity by Technology Module Capacity by Technology (GW) Low Case Base Case
1.
Module Capacity Growth Potential ~ 6-8 GW/year in the base case and ~ 3-4 GW/year in the low case
2.
c-Si likely to remain the dominant technology with only small drop in market share from 77% in 2010 to 72% in 2013
3.
Thin Film CdTe market share primarily dominated by First Solar with 2.7 GW capacity by 2013
4.
Thin Film CIGS remains a wild-card technology as currently mass production remains an industrial challenge
5.
Thin Film Si market share is expected to remain consistent at 13% with potential upside from OS ThinFab solution
