What is the Forecast for PV Materials in 2012?

Crystalline silicon will continue to dominate in 2012, for even if conversion efficiency for thin-film modules reaches 14%, it cannot compete with current prices for c-Si technology. However, materials suppliers persist to engage with and look for ways to benefit from this large and potentially huge market. Technologies that will likely see large-scale implementation in 2012 include pseudo-mono ingot growth, selective emitter technology, paste reduction techniques, and increased market share of thin-film manufacturing. Here, we provide the outlook from three leading analysts.
