He predicted that factory-applied photovoltaics paint systems were five to 10 years from becoming reality. Executives at Sunpower and Applied Materials make a surprisingly strong case that PV is breaking through in central electricity generation. The report anticipates a similar shift in terms of industry dynamics for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and building-applied photovoltaics (BAPV). For the description of system performance and energy yield, the concept of efficiency is usually not applied. Global shipments of Photovoltaic (PV) Module Level Power Management (MLPM) system are set to explode over the next few years due their capability to apply Moore's Law to the solar market. Cheap Martin Green, a co-author of Earthscans Applied Photovoltaics was one of the winners of the first Zayed Future Energy Prize announced at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi on 19th January 2009. The next time anyone hear the actual solar power versus gas heat up, you should mention the particular inherent challenge with the debate. Lemmer: An important challenge we are facing is to avoid the degradation of solar cells induced by oxygen and water vapor by applying encapsulation technologies. Applied to PV system, the efficiency mainly expresses the power generation normalized to surface area. When a voltage is applied across the top and bottom electrodes, a current flows through the junction in the form of electrons moving one way while holes move the other way. "This is absolutely the nirvana of steel manufacturing," he said. A company set up to develop coatings for aerospace, MAP in France, has developed a liquid-applied silicone encapsulant for PV specifically for low concentration PV where Fresnel mirrors are used to concentrate light. Established last June with an investment of €60 million (US$86 million), the center supports applied PV research at two Fraunhofer Institutes: the Institute for Solar Energy Systems and the Institute for Mechanics of Materials. A recent report from Pike Research anticipates a similar shift in terms of industry dynamics for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and building-applied photovoltaics (BAPV).
