Abstract
Summary
This report is an updated version of our Q1-08 release on thin-film and
organic PV materials. This revised report covers thin-film silicon, CIGS, CdTe
and organic materials. It considers the future commercial prospects for
thin-film PV materials in the current economic downturn and includes a new
eight-year forecast of materials consumption of materials by the TFPV
industry, as well as an assessment of what the business prospects at the
materials level of the TFPV value chain are likely to be in 2009. The issues
analyzed include the prospects for commercialization of newer technologies in
an investment environment with a short term focus and how TFPV materials will
fare against conventional silicon materials.
In addition to our quantitative forecasts, we also include other scenarios for
the evolution of TFPV materials that are more bullish and more bearish. We
also discuss what an economic recovery would mean to suppliers of materials
for the TFPV sector.
