Electricity production from 2011 installations Lost production New production (RES in Green) PV electricityrepresented in 2011 around 30% of electricityfrom new production sources. Source: EPIA analysis
Evolution of cumulative PV capacity in Europe 51.3 GW RoEcontains all marketswithlessthan 1 GW installed. France and BelgiumleftRoE in 2011.
Scenarios for PV electricity in Europe Extrapolation of EPIA marketforecastscompared to EPIA scenarios for 2020. 8 % 4 % 2.6 %
LevelisedCost of PV Electricity 5 countries in Europe, 2011 Prices, 4 market segments: residential rooftop (3 kW), commercial rooftop (100 kW), industrial rooftop (500 kW), utility-scale ground-mounted (2.5 MW) European PV LCOE range projection 2010-2020 • LCOE in Europe: • 0,12 EUR • Italy, groundmounted • 0,26 EUR • UK, residential - 50 % Lowest LCOE in 2012: 0,12 Eur / kWh (Groundmounted – Italy) PV’s generation cost could go down by 50% duringthisdecade

Long term PV development EU: 10-13 % in 2030 (RES: 55-69%) EU: 27,5 % in 2050 (RES: 100%) World: 20 % in 2060
Conclusion PV isdevelopingeverywhere, fasterthanexpected Priceswill continue to go down on the mid and long term Grid and electricitymarketintegrationbecomes a priority We don’t want caps, and we need support schemes until competitiveness with conventional energies is achieved. Weneedpolicy support anyway, especiallypriorityaccess Current challenges: marketadjustment, global competitionand the effects of the European financialcrisis.
