The context
Unprecedented cost reduction and growth:
• PV module prices: - 80 % in only 4 years
• PV system prices: - 67 % in only 4 years
• Grid parity about to be achieved
• PV market in 2011: + 30 GW / + 75 %
• PV in Europe in 2011: largest increase of all additional capacity
• Increasing role of PV in recent energy scenarios
• Energy policy (Fukushima, climate change, etc.)

The future of PV RTD in Switzerland
• The relevance of photovoltaic research is confirmed (CORE energy research master plan 2013 – 2016, Action plan coordinated energy research)
• However: financial means so far unchanged (reduced)
• Additional financial means for P+D-projects (2013)

Conclusions
• Swiss PV R&D, technology and industrial base excellent • Potential and possible role of photovoltaics are
widely recognized • RTD becomes more industry and system relevant • The next decade is decisive for PV –
worldwide and in Switzerland • Long term options should not be forgotten • Sustainability becomes key (technologies and markets) • Competition has become fierce • Constant innovation is a must • Strong PV needs a strong technological base !
