Very low manufacturing costs are key for crystalline silicon-based wafer, cell or module manufacturers in OECD countries in order to successfully compete in today's business environment of cheap product prices. For PHOTON's 5^th PV Production Equipment Conference
(Part 1 – c-Si), we've invited representatives from leading R&D institutes, equipment makers, and suppliers of processing materials to present the latest technology updates for wafers, cells and crystalline silicon
(c-Si) modules. The conference will provide an overview on:

• Fundamentals on low-cost production of wafers,
  cells and modules
• Ingots/wafers: The latest in equipment and materials to crystallize and slice silicon ingots
• Cells: Updates on machines and automation for cell production
• Modules: Manufacturing of c-Si panels close to markets – products and case studies
• Quality control: How to achieve high yields and up-times
  on the factory floor
• Executive panel discussion

PHOTON's 5^th PV Production Equipment Conference (Part 1 – c-Si) addresses executives and technology experts from c-Si wafer, cell and module manufacturing companies, and research institutes, as well as other industries looking into setting up c-Si production.
