Currently, thin-film technology accounts for only 5% of the global solar PV market, while silicon-based solar modules still hold approximately 95% of the global PV module market (GlobalData, 2018).
However, as long as the PV industry continues with exponential growth (as is expected to continue in order to address continuing growing demand , ), the majority of each year’s production capacity will be represented by newer factories. 3.3. Cell and module material costs
The costs of materials, equipment, facilities, energy, and labor associated with each step in the production process are individually modeled. Input data for this analysis method are collected through primary interviews with PV manufacturers and material and equipment suppliers.
These modules are assembled on specific machines, beginning with the basic components, the main ones being the photovoltaic cells, the glass, the encapsulating agent and the back sheet. By introducing these and other components into the production line, a complete module is produced ready for sale and installation.
Dramatic falls in the cost of energy from solar PV have been driven by the increasing cost competitiveness of the PV module itself, with crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV the dominant technology. In the last decade, the installed capacity of PV modules has grown by an order of magnitude.
Comparison of next generation PV technology in the future market landscape. Photovoltaic module prices have typically decreased faster than projections. There are two methods usually used for these projections; cumulative market shipment experience curves or detailed bottom-up cost calculations for specific technologies.
