The EPRI program in photovoltaics (PV) focuses on two primary thrusts: (1) advancement of PV technology toward high-performance, affordable systems for energy-significant electric-utility use; (2) identification, evaluation, and facilitation of PV applications in the utility sector. The first thrust includes a coordinate, multi-university effort in amorphous-silicon materials and device research that is transitioning toward enhanced transfer to industry; and a comprehensive industry-based program in high-concentration PV systems development. The second thrust is aimed currently at high value uses that are cost-effective today, and is expanding to the next generation of applications where PV is expected to compete later in this decade.
