Promising signs in europe include Oerlikon’s record-breaking production costs of €0.70 per watt peak, together with cells that can achieve 11.9% efficiency. With so much potential finally being realised, now is the time to take your place in thin film’s supercharged future.CRITICAL CHALLENGES STILL REMAIN But in the past 12 months have been far from plain sailing - the advantages that thin film had been enjoying over its PV rivals have been diminished, supply of natural resources has sent crystalline silicon prices tumbling, and thin film manufacturers are playing catch-up in R&D and production. Moreover, financial concerns and reservations over the track record of thin film have stemmed the flow of investment into the sector. Turbulence in the global economy, coupled with uncertainty in incentive schemes, has dramatically limited funding opportunities. Meeting ambitious energy targets and matching supply with demand will simply not be possible without the confidence of investors.finding the answers to these challenges and more is precisely the reason why the 2010 Thin film solar summit europe has been launched. now in its 3rd blockbuster year, the event guarantees to provide you with the knowledge and contacts that you need to maximise your competitiveness and stand out from the thin film crowd.
