1 status of PV 2013: costs for system modules 0.5 /Wp = 330CLP 1 /Wp = 660CLP BOS (balance of system) - inverter, meter - cables, mounting system - mounting source of picture: internet Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

2 today's prices for turn key PV- system: /Wp >>> 9-14 ct/kwh CLP/kWh (in Germany) Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

3 electricity production in 2013 in GER electricity production in first five months in 2013 nuclear brown coal black coal gas wind solar water 19.0% 29.6% 24.1% 9.7% 9.1% 4.8% 3.7% renewables: ca. 25% Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

6 status of PV 2013: energy payback 0.5 years Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

7 status of PV 2013 summary GERMANY - In Germany the total installed PV capacity is 35GWp (world wide ca. 120GWp); that corresponds to 5% electricity from PV -The Energy Turn Around in Germany has to be done collectively with all the alternative energies (good energy mix, smart-grid, storage) GENERAL - PV producers are at the moment in a crisis due to overcapacity; but new markets are fast created - c-si modules costs are around 0.5 /Wp; total turn-key PV systems for 1.50 /Wp >>> this gives translated ca. 10ct/kWh - 30 GW PV-market will move to 100 GW market in PV is for countries with plenty of sun the best electricity source to get independent (Hermann Scheer) Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

8 important research topics Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

9 research topics GERMANY CHILE - snow - sand - cold (not at the moment) - hot (not at the moment) Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

10 research topics CELL MODULE SYSTEM - material saving - thinner wafer - Cu instead of Ag - colorful cells - bifacial cells - rear contact cells - concentrators - tandem - 3 rd generation? - material saving - thinner glass - less encapsulant - no frames - longer lifetime - glass/glass - silcones instead EVA - bifacial moduels - desert modules - hybrides (solar thermal) - - material saving - less frames - more stable holders - stable cables - stable convertors - smart-grid - storage!!! (also e.g. power to gas) Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

11 research topics CELL MODULE SYSTEM - material saving - thinner wafer - Cu instead of Ag - colorful cells - bifacial cells - rear contact cells - concentrators - tandem - 3 rd generation? - material saving - thinner glass - less encapsulant - no frames - longer lifetime - glass/glass - silcones instead EVA - bifacial moduels - desert modules - hybrides (solar thermal) - - material saving - less frames - more stable holders - stable cables - stable convertors - smart-grid - storage (also e.g. power to gas) Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

16 research topics: rear contact modules Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

17 research topics: light, flexible modules Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

18 research topics: stable desert modules Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,

19 overall summary If the energy turn around with PV (in combination with other renewables) works in Germany, it works far better in Latin America and other southern places. PV electricity generation in 2013 can be done in Germany for 10ct/kWh. - higher yearly irradiation - stable irradiation during the year - more need for decentralized systems >> adapted solutions needed (e.g. desert module) >> effective solutions for storage needed (also micro-grids) >> good political and economical surroundings has to be established Radovan Kopecek, Ceremonia de Lanzamiento Centro FONDAP en Energia Solar,
