2 Central Germany - a worldwide leading region for PV-production Key data for Solarvalley in 2011: 40% of total German PV production 13,000 employees in PV production 3,000 employees in PV supplier Consortium: 35 companies operating worldwide 9 renowned research institutions 5 universities and 5 universities of applied sciences 3 federal states

3 Solarvalley Mitteldeutschland - Production, Research, Science and Politics in a joint effort Quelle: EuPD Research 08/2

4 Solarvalley Mitteldeutschland - efficient Top management 8 organisation Director / Clusterboard CEO Halle Office Erfurt Branch Office Dresden Office

5 Production, Research, Science and Politics in a joint effort - Acceleration of innovation in PV-technology Internationally leading PV-Cluster

6 ur mission to make solar electricity an essential part of the global energy supply The strategy Cost reduction by Economies of scale New technologies for products and production Co-operation from basic research to industrial application Development of two silicon based technologies: crystalline and thin film Investment in R&D, industrial engineering and market development

7 Coordinated R&D program along the value chain - cost reduction in the field of components, better efficiency for systems GSS Fraunhofer_IKTS JENOPTIK_Automatisierungstechnik Sunways JENOPTIK_Laser Sovello Jonas_Redmann_PV xµ_module+ PV_Laser Helmholtz_Zentrum_Dresden_Rossendorf Roth_Rau Solarwatt Adaptum Uni_Halle_Wittenberg Fraunhofer_THM CzSil Bosch Solar Energy Heraeus_Quarzglas xµ_zellen SCHOTT_Solar Laserimpuls Solibro Modulertrag LL_CIGS CiS Q-Cells xµ_module PVA_TePla Hochschule_Magdeburg_Stendal CalMec ThinWafer xµ_material BAM CxTCO Fraunhofer ISE TU_Dresden_Institut_Physik CALYXO Fraunhofer CSP CXSA PVA_Vakuum_Anlagenbau PV_Silicon_Forschungs_und_Produktions U_Ilmenau FzSil TU_Bergakademie PV_Face MecModule BIPV mcsil_1t PV_Crystalox_Solar_Silicon TU_Dresden_Baukonstruktion IKZ_Leibniz-Institut_Kristallzuechtung Masdar_PV Glaswerke_ARNOLD Schueco_TF P-D_Aircraft_Interior alsecco Euroglas SunStrom Solarion Bosch_Solar_Thin_Film SMA 11 joint R&D-cluster 98 subprojects 140 m R&D budget financed half by the public half by private sector Project PV manufacturer & PV supplier Research Institutes & Universities

8 Electricity for the future - new technology and better products to make solar power competitive Status 2011 improvement since % reduction of materials 18% increase of efficiency for crystalline silicon 20% increase of efficiency for silicon thin film modules 50% price reduction Target 2013 improvement since 2008 Scientific basics for products and production >30% reduction of materials 25% increase of cell-efficiency for crystalline silicon (>20% efficiency) 30% increase of efficiency for silicon thin film modules (>10% efficiency) 70% price reduction Reliability and life time of modules > 30 years Building integrated PV, systems for decentralized grids

9 Sustainable economic growth through further education and training - new jobs New educational programs in all federal states integrated training concept Qualification skilled personnel / managers Attractive and stable jobs in the region pplied Science and niversity education: Solarvalley Summer School for Photovoltaics (Bachelor, Master, PhD) Development of Solarvalley Graduate School for Photovoltaics for PhD-students Initiating new renewable energy study courses (Bachelor and Master) Further eduaction and professional training: Online-Platform for jobs, initial training, hands-on training (students, pupils), PhD-students Projects for pupils: PV alive, PV Discoverer Regional marketing to recruit skilled personnel

10 High-Tec in Central Germany - appealing for business and society development steps Cluster expansion Implementation of a joint network for all three federal states along the value chain Interregional co-operation International co-operation Status 2011 improvement since 2008 Communication platform for the PV industry with regional offices in the three federal states Network of R&D institutions including universities, research institutes and R&D departments of industry Experienced management organisation 3,500 new jobs, 1,300 m investment Start of 40 Ph.D. studies 7 new endowed chairs Target 2013 improvement since 2008 Better understanding of PV-System applications Qualification of Young Professionals Strategic partnership with the European Institute for Innovation und Technology (EIT), Partner of Climate KIC Co-operation with international working group for standardization, PV-roadmap monitoring of innovation processes

11 Internationalization Cooperation between Solarvalley members and international partners (R&D, business and educational issues) Joint research projects: German-Moroccan mobility funding programme of the BMBF (PMARS/WTZ, Sept. 2012) in order to start joint R&D projects Mobility projects: exchange of scientists, graduate and PhD students Contact to new research and business partners as well as to academia (exchange of delegations, symposiums, match makings etc.) Support development of cluster structures e.g. support GIZ Morocco: establishment of a Moroccan solar cluster
