Cost Modeling for Specific PV Technologies

This video was produced when the laboratory operated as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The laboratory is now the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR). In part 2 of NREL’s solar techno-economic analysis tutorial, see the reference designs, process flows, and cost models that our analysts use for specific PV technologies—crystalline silicon, cadmium telluride, CIGS, and III-Vs. This tutorial was originally presented as part of the IEEE PV Specialists Conference in June 2020.
