Nevertheless I used them to show what is discussed in the public. The use of the material is permitted as long as the sources are acknowledged. Neither the European Commission nor any person acting on behalf of the Commission is responsible for the use, which might be made of the following information.

13 Solar Economics 11/05/2011 EKZ Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich 25 System annual capital cost at 5% loan (low-risk rate): Case 1: 75 billion/yr (Capital &Interest) /kwh Case 2: 50 billion/yr (Capital &Interest) 0.05 /kwh System O&M: 0.01 /kwh Transmission and back-up: ~ 0.03 /kwh (ouch) Raw cost of solar electricity (2025) : Case 1: /kwh Case 2: 0.09 /kwh Conventional fuels might be higher than 11 c/kwh by then 11/05/2011 EKZ Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich 26 Energy Needs Photovoltaics Overview Energy Pay Back Water Needs Solar Economics Solar Vision Conclusions

15 PV in the Energy Context 11/05/2011 EKZ Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich 29 Energy Needs: (TPES) 2008: 514 EJ/year = 16.3 TW 2020: 628 EJ/year = 19.9 TW 2050: > 1,047 EJ/year = > 33.2 TW Until 2050 new capacity for 16.9 TW needed! Need to build 34 new 1 GW plants per month Solar Vision 2050: 2.6 TW Photovoltaics 2050: 7.8% TPES, 45 % Electricity TW: continuous necessary energy, i.e. every second Source: IEA World Energy Statistics and World Energy Outlook EPIA, SET for 2020 Conclusions 11/05/2011 EKZ Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich 30 Growth of PV electricity installations is much faster than predicted by most scenarios! Adaptation of current grid structures to accommodate larger share of de-centralised RES is needed to enable a large scale use of PV electricity. Only increasing markets ensure that PV electricity prices are continuously declining! For the next decade solar PV will still need support The European Union is currently the largest body with a legally binding target of 20% GHG reductions and 20% RES use by 2020! PV electricity is an important building block to realise a decarbonised energy supply

16 Conclusions 11/05/2011 EKZ Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich 31 Energy Pay Back Time of PV Systems has decreased significantly Are the expected further EPBT decreases ambitious enough? Reduction of water consumption should be a top priority Not only because of environmental, but also out of economic reasons Photovoltaics has a huge environmental potential, but it won t be achieved with business as usual!
