The most important objective for today's photovoltaic (PV) market is to reduce the ratio of manufacturing cost to power output, and more specifically for solar modules, the manufacturing cost per kWh. With this in mind, technical solutions are required to reach grid parity and make PV a competitive energy source.
Equipment and materials suppliers are partnering with cell manufacturers to cut cost down together. Investments in cell production capacity at an unprecedented level across multiple geographies will help manufacturers to benefit from learning and scale effects. However, innovation on equipment and material is a key parameter to sustain the growth of the PV industry.
