The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has set a very ambitious long-term target for thin-film costs of €0.33/Wp, based on a module efficiency target of 15% and a module manufacturing cost per unit area of €50/m2. This target should be seen as the ultimate goal for widespread solar power generation.
Several studies have shown the potential for thin-film technology to reach 50 to 70 €/m 2....
