Thin Film PV Partnership Performing Organizations: National Renewable Energy Laboratory DOE Golden Field Office Key Technical Contacts: Ken Zweibel (NREL, Primary Contact), 303-384-6441, ken_zweibel@nrel.gov Glenn Doyle (DOE/GO), 303-275-4706, glenn.doyle@go.doe.gov DOE HQ Technology Manager: Jeffrey Mazer, 202-586-2455, Jeffrey.Mazer@hq.doe.gov FY 2004 Budgets: $10,321K (NREL), $140K (DOE/GO) _____________________________________________________________________________________ Objectives • Support the near-term transition to first-time manufacturing and commercial introduction of reliable thin-film a-Si, CIS, CdTe, and film silicon modules. • Build a technology base upon which these advanced PV technologies can successfully improve manufacturing and continue to progress in terms of performance, reliability, and reduced cost for products meant to compete in the PV marketplace. • Sustain innovation to support progress toward ambitious long-term PV cost and performance goals (e.g., 15% modules at under $50/m2 and capable of lasting 30 years) appropriate for cost- competitive PV electricity. Accomplishments • The new effort to stress prototype commercial thin-film modules outdoors in hot and humid climates began with testing at FSEC and Texas A&M of CIS, CdTe, and a-Si modules. • The Thin Film PV Partnership recompetition was carried out via LOI RXL-4-44205. • A report (“Study of Potential Cost Reductions Resulting from Super-Large-Scale Manufacturing of PV Modules”) by an expert from Hewlett Packard (HP) in large-volume manufacturing indicated large potential cost reductions for thin-film modules from economies of scale and make/buy decisions (NREL/SR-520-36844). The report once more confirms that the long-stated DOE cost goals for thin-film modules are reasonable. • A publicly accessible Website on cadmium issues in PV (http://www.nrel.gov/cdte/) was developed and posted live with the help of BNL and became a major resource for the global ES&H community; based on this Website, we were invited to participate in a key EU rulemaking workshop on PV issues and were able to provide favorable input (March 2004). • Major advancements were achieved in first-time manufacturing of all three thin films, taking fiscal year U.S. production levels up from about 12 MW in FY 2003 to about 20 MW in FY 2004: o In CIS, Technology Partners Shell Solar and Global Solar sold about 3 and 1 MW of CIS modules, respectively. o In CdTe, Technology Partner First Solar sold about 4 MW of CdTe modules. o In a-Si, Technology Partner Uni-Solar Ovonic sold about 12 MW of a-Si modules. • Despite a mandated 20% reduction in FY 2004 funds from the expected level, (1) all milestones were met and (2) the budget within the Thin Film Partnership was managed within +0.006% of the required lower level by adjusting most ongoing subcontracts downward and canceling others. This new, lower level was then incorporated in the levels planned for subcontract emerging from the recompetition LOI.PDF Image | FY 2004 ANNUAL REPORT DOE Solar
