| Cost Reduction and Efficiency Increase The following discussions will focus on areas identified by the International Technology Roadmap for PV as critical for the overall goal of cost reduction and efficiency increase in advanced crystalline cell and module manufacturing. Economies of scale alone are not sufficient to compete in a global market environment. The reduction of manufacturing costs per Wp are dominated by the reduction of the manufacturing costs per piece of wafer, cell, and module (assuming a constant cell area) while the contribution of increased cell efficiency is less pronounced. Only a combination of increased module conversion efficiency and significantly reduced manufacturing costs will enable the PV industry to reach the overall cost targets. | ||||
