Abstract
This paper reports on the status and perspective of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cell production from the viewpoint of a turnkey production line and technology supplier. It exemplifies selected results of centrotherm's strategic research and roadmapping process. The paper addresses the question of cost, timeframe and risk in transferring new technologies from lab level to mass production targeting at the ultimate ambition in PV: Grid parity.
