According to the experts, all members of the Photovoltaics Innovation Alliance, it is essential to turn to three set screws to make solar power more affordable :
"Even in recent years the cost of turnkey solar power plants have fallen by two thirds and the end of the story is far from being reached," said Carsten Granular, chief executive of the Federal Solar Industry Association.
"This innovation potential, we must now raise, for the benefit of humanity and our environment for the benefit of the business location Germany," Granular said.
This means that Germany will continue to remain competitive as photovoltaic site , promoting photovoltaic research by the federal government was more important were convinced two of three solar researchers.
"According to our forecast cost reductions for a further 30 percent are possible with solar power systems by 2020," said professor Eicke Weber, Director of Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE. "Photovoltaics are on the threshold of competitiveness with conventional power sources worldwide. It will take a few years to more market segments and regions of the world economy itself."
The Photovoltaics Innovation Alliance is a consortium of 120 research institutes and solar companies at all stages, working to defend the competitive advantage of ] solar power in Germany.
