Abstract

The key parameters of the most important market introduction programs in selected European countries like Germany, Spain, Italy and Greece as well as the actual market sizes in these countries are described. Current and potential developments by 2010 of grid-connected systems for residential applications and large scale ground based systems are described. System cost reductions and BOS cost reduction potentials for both x-Si and thin-film modules are discussed
