In this paper, the authors examined the areas in c-Si growth, materials, and processing that require improvement through research to overcome barriers to the implementation of the photovoltaic road maps's Si goals. To obtain PV module throughput to the roadmap target of 200 MW/factory/year, the typical Si PV factory must produce >4,000 m{sup 2}/day of silicon.
