Subject: Thin-Film, Organic and Printable Photovoltaics: 2007-2015

I enclose details of our report on Thin-Film, Organic and Printable
Photovoltaics   

A report was released in early 2006 that examined and quantified the
emerging market for thin film/flexible photovoltaic technology. It examined
the virtues and disadvantages or rival research programs, such as silicon on
metal, CIGS on metal and organic PV and compared the various strategies
being employed to create new PV products for the mobile computer and
communications, building materials, outdoor power, emergency power and other
sectors. The report provided detailed forecasts of PV shipments broken out
by technology type and application. It also discussed how far this new type
of photovoltaics would eat into traditional photovoltaics markets.   

This new report offers a fresh assessment of the space with additional
details on technology, material and applications, a new market forecast as
well as analysis of the strategies of leading firms active in this space.
The materials platforms covered in this report include silicon, CIGS,
polymers, small molecules, CdTe, and GaAs as well as various hybrid
materials strategies. We also discuss emerging PV technology based on
nanotechnology and so-called Third-generation Photovoltaics. Each of these
technologies arereviewed in terms of their key performance characteristics
(e.g., conversion efficiencies, costs per watt, etc.) and how these might
improve in the future. We also look at the evolution of roll-to-roll and
printing processes for TOP electronics-based PV and particular attention is
given to the market implications of the ability to create PV on flexible
substrates.   

For all of the TOP electronics approaches to PV, we examine their commercial
advantages and disadvantages and in which market segments they are likely to
find a successful application. Market segments examined in detail include
building integrated systems, mobile and wearable computing, central power
generation, disposable electronics, portable and emergency power (including
battery chargers), and military applications. The report also includes
detailed eight-year forecasts of PV shipments broken out by technology type
and application and discusses how far this new type of photovoltaics can eat
into traditional photovoltaics markets. Assessments of all the leading firms
active in the TOP PV space are also included and the coverage includes
start-ups and established firms offering both materials and PV technology
into this sector.
