International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV) - vdma.eu

The International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV) serves the purpose of highlighting developments and trends in the photovoltaic market and is considered a guide for the entire crystalline silicon-based (c-Si) photovoltaic supply chain. It considers the entire PV value chain from crystallization, wafering and cell processing as well as module manufacturing to system. Key parameters are identified and elaborated, new trends are discussed, and the photovoltaic learning curve is considered in detail. It is crucial that a valid and comprehensive database is available for the roadmap. The participating companies along the value chain from crystallization to the system are jointly working out the essential parameters currently under consideration, which will be published in the roadmap. Below you will find more information and details about the ITRPV, the approach, the data collection and how you can participate.
