25 The solar cell industry has demonstrated it s relevance (volume/cost) to solving two of the major challenges facing mankind Improved energy consumption Climate change has developed into a large global industry will continue to present many business opportunities needs R&D to increase efficiency and reduce cost is COMPETITIVE! is facing increased opposition...

26 Is there anything left to do?

27 Is there anything left to do? SILICON MATERIAL QUALITY

28 Is there anything left to do? WAFERING TECHNOLOGIES

29 OPTICAL LOSSES Is there anything left to do?

30 RECOMBINATION LOSSES Is there anything left to do?

31 Is there anything left to do? NEW CONCEPTS

32 Is there anything left to do? MODULES

33 Is there anything left to do? System integration in Norway - Competence building! - Improved resource data (also historical) - Improved production data (also historical) - Improved understanding of PV system operation in a Scandinavian climate - Improved understanding of PV module optimization for Scandinavian end use -
