Further reduction of the productions cost will enable values below 5 US-Cent per kWh within few years in sunny regions.<\/p>\n<p>In order to achieve those LCOE values a lifetime, n, of the modules of more than 20 years with low degradation rates, d, as well as an maximum energy production, Mel, are required.

D. in material science from the Technical University of Chemnitz and Martin-Luther-University Halle, respectively. From 2000 until 2002 he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore) on long term reliability of thin silicon films. In 2003 he joined the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials and worked there as a group leader and later on as head of the department \u201cMicroelectronics and Microsystems\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2007 he is the directors of the Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP, a research center with currently 70 employees. He is currently responsible for research in the areas of silicon wafers, material characterization and module technology and reliability. Since 2009 he also holds a professorship for \u201cPhotovoltaic Materials\u201d at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences. Since 2007 he is the vice president of \u201cSolar Valley Central Germany\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Joerg Bagdahn, Director, Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics, Halle (Saale), Germany Over the last decade the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of photovoltaic energy production went down to values below 10 US-Cent per kWh even in less in sunny&#8230;<br \/><a class=\"read-more-button\" href=\"https:\/\/yzaz.net\/irsec15\/joerg-bagdahn\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yzaz.net\/irsec15\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yzaz.net\/irsec15\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yzaz.net\/irsec15\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yzaz.net\/irsec15\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yzaz.net\/irsec15\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/yzaz.net\/irsec15\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41,"href":"https:\/\/yzaz.net\/irsec15\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40\/revisions\/41"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yzaz.net\/irsec15\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
