  1. Solar ElectricTechnologies Harin S. Ullal, Ph.D. National Center for PhotovoltaicsNational Renewable Energy Laboratory Golden, Colorado TIE Rockies April 9, 2009

  2. Solar Energy — Clean Energy • No greenhouse gases • No air pollution • No acid rain • No soil, plant, animal damage • No human respiratory ailments

  3. The Concept

  4. Criteria • Efficiency • Cost • Reliability

  5. Photovoltaic Technologies • Crystalline Silicon (Mono, Multi) • Thin Films (a-Si, CIS, CdTe) • Concentrators (Si, GaAs)

  6. PV Efficiencies

  7. Top Ten PV Companies - 2008

  8. Major Polysilicon Manufactures • Wacker - Germany • Hemlock - USA • MEMC - USA • REC Silicon - Norway • Tokuyama - Japan • Mitsubishi Materials - Japan • Sumitomo Titanium - Japan

  9. Concentrator PV Technologies • Technologies are ready to deliver • High (200-1000x) and low (2-20x) concentrations • Systems may require some maintenance, should only be deployed in areas with adequate “direct” solar resource

  10. Thin Film PV Companies – USA • a-Si • Uni-Solar – MI • Applied Materials – CA • Power Films – IA • Energy PV – NJ • MV Systems – CO • XsunX – CA • OptiSolar – CA • Signet Solar – CA • Nano PV – NJ • Xunlight – OH • Proto Flex – CO • New Solar Ventures – NM • Solar Thin Films – NJ • Sencera – NC • Thin-Si • Innovalight – CA • Nanogram – CA • Soltaix – CA • Crystal Solar – CA • Parachete Energy – SC • Ampulse – TN • CdTe • First Solar – OH • Primestar Solar – CO • AVA Solar – CO • Calyxo – OH • Canrom – NY • Ascentool – CA • Nuvo Solar Energy – CO • Zia Watt Solar – TX • Solexant – CA • Sunovia Energy – FL • W&K Solar – OH • Bloo Solar – CA • CIS • Global Solar – AZ • Miasole – CA • Energy PV – NJ • Ascent Solar – CO • ISET – CA • Daystar – NY • Nanosolar – CA • Heliovolt – TX • Solo Power – CA • Solyndra – CA • RESI – NJ • Light Solar – NV • IBM – NY • JNL Solar – CA • Telio Solar – CA • Amelio Solar – CA

  11. Thin Film PV Market Share – USA

  12. World PV Cell/Module Production –1988-2007 (Megawatts)

  13. Is There Enough Sunshine toEnergize America? That’s right! This bright spot covers a circle of Nevada desert about 100 miles across, that if covered with modern PV arrays, would satisfy America’s entire electricity demand.

  14. Flexible CIGS Modules on Tent Global Solar

  15. Thin Film CIGS Facade Honda

  16. BIPV and “Special” Product

  17. 1.8 MW – Thin Film CdTe Solar Roof First Solar / Juwi Solar

  18. 40 MW – Thin Film CdTe Solar Field Total Project Price: Euro – 130 MillionPV System Price: Euro – 3.25 / WattsCompletion Date: December 2008 Under Construction First Solar / Juwi Solar

  19. Thin Film PV Capacity (2009-2012)
