Joe Berwind, Principal, Alternative Energy Investing:" "High Efficiency CIGS Solar Cells: Technology Trends and Materials Requirement"
The major parameter of interest for market penetration is LCOE. Cost per Watt is not a sufficient parameter to assess benefits. "Materials & Processes Enable markets". Location & solar irradiation are factors that vary geographically and thus by markets and must be included in any analysis. Process and materials differences are reflected in LCOE better than with Cost/Watt. Short-term pull-in growth in the market will not sustain, subsidy cuts are undermining the longer term market.
