PVMD Delft University of Technology Learning objectives What are - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

The final review – Record efficiencies Arno Smets PVMD Delft University of Technology

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?
