Materials Matter in PV Systems

The choices that affect the efficiency, reliability and cost of PV Systems.
Over the next five years, photovoltaic (PV) systems will achieve grid parity in many major global markets with low-cost, high-efficiency systems that have 25 or more years of system life. A driving factor in achieving grid parity is the quality and durability of materials in PV cells, modules and other system components. This presentation will explore the crucial role of materials in determining the efficiency, reliability and cost of PV systems. Discussion will focus on key considerations, and provide guideposts for those who specify or influence the selection of PV components.

This video will be valuable for system developers, system designers, EPCs, installers, financiers, engineering firms, and others who specify, recommend, or influence the selection of PV equipment and components (cells, modules, etc.) for PV installations.
