This workshop serves to give an overview on the status of the technology and economics of PV in Switzerland. The goal of this meeting is to have first answers to the question of breakeven times (financial, energy, CO2) of present PV installations in Switzerland and on the research which is necessary to improve these breakeven times. SLN plans to have follow up meetings to come to better answers.
