Photovoltaic system technology fully meets the shared goals adopted in June 1993 by the ZEA ministers, particularly with reference to diversity, flexibility and environmental sustainability within the energy sector. P V for the power generation sector is seen as 'one of the priority activities on which additional collaboration efforts should be focused'.
The IEA Cooperation Agreement on Photovoltaic Power Systems (PVPS), established in 1993, is an effort of 20 countries focused on the planning, design, construction, operation performance and promotion of P V power systems.
The mission of the programme is: to enhance the international collaboration eforts through which photovoltaic solar energy becomes a significant energy option in the near future. Efforts are also undertaken to enhance transfer of knowledge to developing countries interested in applying P V power systems for both autonomous and grid connected applications.
ost-effective photovoltaic (PV) power systems presently are employed in a wide range of appli cations, mainly to supply electric energy to isolated users and remote communities both in rural C areas of the International Energy Agency (IEA) member countries and in the developing countries.
In the near future the most important PV applications in the IEA member countries are expected to be decentralized generators connected to the utility grid, either integrated into buildings and structures or ground-based plants to provide grid support and peak power, when cost reduction will encourage the ever larger deployment of these market segments.
Three main categories of priorities are to be addressed to allow photovoltaics to become a significant energy option:
(i) reduction of energy cost; (ii) increased awareness of PV potential and value of PV energy to utilities and customers; (iii) removal of non-technical barriers to large deployment of PV systems.
The path to cost effectiveness depends upon progress in several areas: for the PV generator it means enhancement of the performance of present silicon technologies, innovative material and device structures
