Abstract
Crystalline silicon is currently used in over 90% of PV cells. Despite the
lower potential cost of emerging thin-film technologies (less material, higher
theoretical efficiencies), crystalline silicon is expected to remain the
dominant PV technology for at least the next 10 years due to its higher
current average efficiency and its greater stability. This report analyzes the
market for both crystalline and thin film solar cells, equipment to make them,
and polysilicon as a starting point.
