The final review – Record efficiencies

Arno Smets

Learning objectives

• What are the record efficiencies for lab scales cells and

modules?

• How do record efficiencies scale with device size?
• What are the module efficiencies in production?
• What is the learning curve of PV technology and systems?
• What is the market share and the learning rates of the

various PV technology?

• Which metrics are important for the PV technology?
• What are the pros and cons of the various PV

technologies in relation to these metrics?
