  1. Process for setting priorities for ST/MT Winfried Hoffmann, EPIA

  2. End products required from today’s Workshop 1) A joint stakeholder recommendation to PV Platform ( PV-TRAC ) as to which RTD priorities should be undertaken in the first project call for FP7 2) A maximum of 10 priority recommendations, divided in “Short-Term/Mid-Term” and “Mid-Term/Long Term” 3) A broad description of each of the recommended priorities ( What, Why, Benefits, Impacts, Targets ) 4) An agreed clear path forward as to how to set up the process to specify from “priority set”-to-”recommendation”-to-”project-description”-to-”project set-up”-to-”monitoring”

  3. OVERVIEW OF ROADMAP PRIORITIES (=LOTS) SYSTEMS MILESTONES TECHNOLOGY MILESTONES

  4. General goals and expected results (in ST/MT and MT/LT Categories) : • Ensure the adequate supply of cost effective raw material • Secure high solar cell efficiencies by using high qualitystarting material, excellent crystallisation and solar cell processing technologies • Ensure low consumptionof the more expensive materials, e.g. by using very thin wafers, by using low-cost contacting schemes • Secure the long lifeof modules by improving interconnection techniques and by further development in the field of materials for encapsulation and framing. • Ensure that next generation “winning” technologies are developed for the future competitiveness of the industry

  5. LISTING OF THE CRITERIA TO THINK ABOUT IN CATEGORISING AND PRIORITY SETTING: • Considering industry and research present needs • Contribute significantly to increase industry competitiveness • Economically viable and technologically feasible (Risk assessment) • Ensure continuity and coherence with previous FPs • In line with ERA, SRA and Lisbon objectives • Etc..

  6. CHOICE INSIDE GENERAL PRIORITIES at ST/MT : • ImpactTime • Cost reduction on the industrial process High ST+ • Improvement of module life time expectancy High ST+ • Wafer thickness High ST+ • Cell efficiency High ST+ • Winner Thin film and new concepts High MT+ • BIPV Discussion ST+ • Rural electrification Discussion ST+

  7. Considerations for each PRIORITIES : • What ? • Technology development and achievement / The Value Proposition • Why ? • Expectations in terms of potential market and competitiveness • Benefits ? • For R&D, Industry, users and society • Impacts? • Economical, environmental and sociological incl. cost impact quantification • Targets? • Technological leadership, specific target ( e.g. µ ), Cost reduction

  8. QUESTION TO THE GROUP REGARDING PRIORITY SETTING/RANKING: • WHAT DO WE SEE AS THE OVERALL HIGH LEVEL STRATEGIC RTD PRORITIES TO MAKE PV SUCCESSFUL LONG TERM ? • Costs ( and weighting between short term and long term emphasis ) ? • Availabilities in next years ? • Preparation of next generation technologies ? • Balanced and wide technology portfolio to ensure that we develop the winners ? • THESE PRIORITIES ARE ACTUALLY COMPATIBLE : DO WE NEED A STRATEGY OF : • Highly focussed high cost impact ST/MT efforts for the Si-wafer based current technology arena, PLUS • For MT/LT a wider range portfolio until the winners can be picked ( then focus ) • WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FOCUS OF BUDGET ALLOCATIONS ? • Short-Medium Term ( Horizon 2007-2012 ) = x % • Medium-Long Term ( Horizon after 2012 ) = 100-x %
