Abstract

Efficiency and manufacturing cost are two key elements for the photovoltaic (PV) industry. In this paper, we look at the time-dependent evolution of efficiency and manufacturing cost for PV devices. For efficiency improvements, the empirical model developed by Goetzberger et al. is applied to descri...
