This has changed strongly during the past few years. The demand for thin-fi lm modules skyrocketed and numerous new companies world-wide have entered the market or are currently setting-up large production facilities. The production capacity in Germany will exceed 1 GWp in 2009. Thin-fi lm technology opens-up exciting possibilities for new products e.g. for building integration, and moreover, allows to produce fl e-xible or semitransparent solar modules. Last but not least, thin-fi lm solar modules are offering the lowest module prices today and still bare a huge potential for further cost reductions. It is the philosophy of this event to bring together experts and newcomers having their background in academics, technology development, solar module production, application in systems or even in the fi nancial sector. Thus you will fi nd expertly presented information about modules, system components, and practical experience at the convention centre in Würz-burg. The success relies on the intense dialogue between developers and producers with system designers and users. The event will start on Monday with a fundamentals seminar given by well-known experts in German language. Note that all talks will be simultane-ously translated into English. On Tuesday, the international conference will take place. Certainly, the conference language will be English to attract guests from abroad which will bring in their experience about international developments and markets.The speakers will bring light into the variety of thin-fi lm technologies and materials. You will learn about the basics and future trends of thin-fi lm silicon and compound semiconductor technologies (a-Si, a-Si/µc-Si, thin c-Si, CdTe and CIS) and products. Reports of real-life experiences with specifi c systems will be from great practical relevance. Besides technical approaches, economic aspects will also be discussed.As participant and expert on specifi c topics you are welcome to contribute to the programme with a lecture or a poster (see submission information). Moreover, the innovation forum and exhibition will provide latest informati-on from thin-fi lm PV industry. With best regards,Prof. Dr. Bernd RechHelmholtz Centre Berlin for Materials and Energy, Germany• The worldwide shortage of crystalline silicon modules brings up the question of convenient alternatives.• How can PV thin-fi lm modules contribute to the market in view of customer value and cost cutting potential?• Do thin-fi lm techniques provide practicable and low-cost solutions for open fi eld application and building integrated systems? • Is there suffi cient application experience available to forecast safe and stable yields? Materials scientists, production engineers and developers from well-known institutes and companies will answer these questions competently. Your benefi ts:• Figures, facts about the state of the art and potentials of the three relevant thin-fi lm technologies: cadmium-telluride (CdTe), copper-indium-diselenide (CIS), amorphous and/or microcrystalline silicon (a/µc-Si).• The essential thin-fi lm PV-modules manufacturers will present their product and application highlights within the innovation forum and the associated exhibition.• Participant orientated discussion forums and a communication friendly number of participants guarantee opportunities to fi nd answers to your questions. • During breaks and the meals you can compare notes with speakers, experts and other participants.Dipl.-Ing.
