What is the International Technology Roadmap for photovoltaic (ITRPV)?

The ITRPV (International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic) is updated regularly by the VDMA with contributions from leading international crystalline silicon producers, wafer suppliers, cell manufacturers, module manufacturers, PV machine builders, material manufacturers as well as PV research institutes and consultants.

What is a photovoltaic technology roadmap?

11. Imprint 12. Sponsors 1. Executive Summary The photovoltaic (PV) industry needs to provide power generation products that can compete with both, conventional energy sources and other renewable sources of energy. An international technolo-gy roadmap can help to identify trends and to define requirements for necessary improvements.

What is the ITRPV – crystalline silicon (c-Si) based photovoltaic industry?

The aim of the ITRPV is to provide information on expected technology trends in the crystalline silicon (c-Si) based photovoltaic industry and to initiate discussions on required improvements and standards. For additional information, please visit the website (itrpv.org).

What is the output power of the ITRPV?

This aspect is again discussed in this revi- sion of the ITRPV. Improvements in these areas will result in 60 cell modules with an average output power of about 325 Wp for mc-Si and about 345 Wp p-type mono-Si respectively by 2028. 72 cell modules are expected to reach 390 Wp with mc-Si and 415 Wp for p-type mono Si respectively at that time.

What is the latest version of the ITRPV report?

As shown in Fig. 1, the ITRPV report has developed year by year reaching a latest version of the ITRPV (11th Edition, 2020) using input data from a total of 55 different contributing companies and research institutes from all around the world.

Who prepared the ITRPV?

The present, fifteenth edi-tion of the ITRPV was jointly prepared by 50 leading international poly-Si producers, wafer suppliers, c-Si solar cell manufacturers, module manufacturers, PV equipment suppliers, and production mate-rial providers, as well as research institutes and consultants. The present publication covers the entire
