  1. Panel Session “Lighting Africa” May 19, 2010 “When asked if I am pessimistic or optimistic about the future, my answer is always the same: If you look at the science about what is happening on earth and aren’t pessimistic, you don’t understand the data. But if you meet the people who are working to restore this earth, and you aren’t optimistic, you haven’t got a pulse… Inspiration resides in humanity’s willingness to restore, reform, rebuild, recover, re-imagine, reconsider… ” - Paul Hawken May 3, 2009 Therese C. Jordan, Ph.D. VP Business Development tjordan@konarka.com

  2. Our Beginnings…

  3. World Insolation Map Every hour, enough sunlight energy reaches the Earth to meet the world’s energy demand for a whole year. --- U.S. Department of Energy

  4. Solar Technologies Source: (Adapted from) Daniel Fraile, EPIA

  5. Record Efficiencies

  6. Price Trends in Solar Modules 440 solar module prices less than $4.00/Wp (31.5% of total) Lowest retail price for multi-crystalline silicon $1.74/Wp. Lowest retail price for a mono-crystalline silicon $2.07/Wp. Lowest thin film price $1.50/Wp Not all models equal… brand, attributes and certifications matter.

  7. Emerging PV 3rd Generation Thin Film OPV Renewable Energy Organic Chemistry Printed Electronics Power Plastic R

  8. Next Generation PV Silicon PV Systems Organic PV Systems Bulk heterojunction solar cell which is molecularly designed and nano-engineered

  9. Monolithically integrated modules Buss Bar Electrode Active Layers Encapsulation Substrate Fully automated production process for module construction

  10. Attributes of Organic PV Design features: • Flexible • Thin • Light-weight • Impact Resistant • Low light sensitivity (indoor/outdoor) • Multiple colors: red, green, blue • Transparent version • Customized voltage Truly Green: • Recycleablility • Environmental impact on a per Watt peak basis which is 80-95% lower than silicon*

  11. Sustainability Perspective: Lifecycle Assessment A. L. Roes et al, Progress in Photovoltaics 17, 372 (2009)

  12. Portable Power Charging of Accessories: • Batteries • Mobile phones • Lighting • Other small devices

  13. Remote Stand Alone Structures 8V, 12V & 24V battery charging standard systems Trickle charging over a range of conditions.

  14. Trickle Charging Effects At full sun Silicon can provide 50- 200% more power than thin films including OPV OPV thin film c-Si a-Si thin film CIGS thin film At low light OPV can produce 170% more power than traditional solar.
