✦ Synopsis

Photovoltaics -a dream of a technology: to systems, traditionally installed as demonstrations produce electric power from sheer non-material by electricity utilities, increased only little. light, anywhere, at (almost) any time, without any

The rapid change in grid-connected photovolrotating turbine shafts, producing no waste, taic installations was initiated by governmentexhausting no limited resources. That idea would supported programmes aiming at the development be too good to be true.

of self-sustaining PV markets. In the first place, And yet, it has been done. Fifty years ago, one should mention the 'Residential PV Systems photovoltaics was one of the very first technical Dissemination Programme' in Japan, which offers applications of semiconductor physics which was considerable investment subsidies. It led to the emerging at the time. Photovoltaics was sent to installation of 120 MW of PV power on some p
