Abstract :
The PVMaT Project and the work carried out under its Phase 1 are described. Phase 1 subcontracted research included silicon technology, ten on flat-plate thin film modules (one on thin films crystalline silicon, five on amorphous silicon, and four on polycrystalline thin films), six on concentrator systems, and two working on general equipment/production options. A brief discussion of the second and third phases is also presented
