5 0.3 GW, Platforma Solar de Almeria (ES) 5 3 December 2012

6 Scalability Investment of limited resources The global energy challenge: 1 GW a day The polymer solar cell at a glance A solution to the 1 GW a day challenge 6

7 The fraction of the energy coming from the sun converted to respectively wave, bio and wind energy: % 0,006 % 0,08 % 7

8 Addressing the 1 GW challenge is about investment of limited resources Return on Investment (ROI) Payback Time Energy Return Factor (ERF) Energy Payback Time (EPBT) 8

9 We have to minimize the embedded energy, to ensure scalability and timeliness Low materials usage No scarcely available materials Compatible with recycling or composting High-speed processing 4 sec. 8 sec. 36 hours 9

23 YES, investing energy in polymer solar cells is attractive - BUT WHAT ABOUNT THE MONEY? 23

24 Cost of the energy produced 5 years operational life time for modules Azzopardi et al, Energy Environ. Sci., 2011, 4,

25 YES, investing energy in polymer solar cells is attractive and the cost is acceptable 25
