The rest were R&D Partners, which were either small businesses making progress toward pilot production or universities supporting the Partnership objectives. 3. Results and Accomplishments The Thin Film PV Partnership supported the transition to successful first-time manufacturing of key thin-film technologies during the fiscal year (see Fig. 1). This is our most important activity in the short term, because it will help establish thin films in the marketplace, improve their chances of future growth and success, and help define the transition of technologies that have been successfully developed by DOE funding to the private sector. This evolution has been more than two decades in the making and is not yet accomplished. However, with the substantial growth in CY 2005 to more than 40 MW (from only 12 MW in the United States in 2003), thin films are in this important transition. Based on surveys of the Partnership’s Technology Partners, it is expected that this may again double in CY 2006 to about 80 MW of annual U.S. production. If so, this will indicate the arrival of these key, potentially lower-cost technology options—and even the resumption of U.S. leadership in the PV marketplace (because thin films may take a leading role, going forward). The following summarizes highlights from FY 2005. 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 43 Fig. 1. Historical and predicted MWp thin-film module manufacturing in the United States, broken down by technology. A survey of the Partnership’s Technology Partners suggests that U.S. thin-film manufacturing is going through a major growth period, and new thin films are joining amorphous silicon in the marketplace (FY 2005 is preliminary data; FY 2006 is planned sales). 3.1 First Solar 50-MWp Factory Expansion The First Solar 50-MWp groundbreaking was a major event, with several hundred people in attendance, including media and political representatives from local, state, and federal levels (see Fig. 2). First Solar plans to produce about 22.0 MWp in 2005, 40 MWp in 2006, and 75 MWp in 2007. Fig. 2. Those at the groundbreaking of First Solar’s 50-MWp factory expansion include DOE Solar Program Manager Ray Sutula, First Solar COO Chip Hambro, and state government representatives, who provided funding support to help locate the expansion in Ohio.
