CIGS Solar Cells: How and Why is their Cost Falling?Jeffrey Funk
My master's students use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) forthcoming book (Technology Change and the Rise of New Industries) to analyze the economic feasibility of CIGS (Cadmium Indium Gallium Selenide) Solar Cells. Improvements in efficiencies and reductions in cost per area (through new processes and increasing the substrate size) are causing steady reductions in the cost of electricity from them. See my other slides for details on concepts, methodology, and other new industries..

The multimillion-dollar question about BIPV is this: what will convince customers -- architects, builders, and homeowners, even construction materials suppliers and financing entities -- to justify the extra expense in a BIPV application? Companies and organizations continue to improve and innovate around the technologies involve with building-integrated photovoltaics (PV), from new cell designs and technologies such as PERC, metal wrap-through, and "smart wire" structures, to new and improved materials from thin-film CIGS to dye-sensitized and organic PV, and the latest solar PV wonder-material perovskite. Standardization will help reduce the complexity (and thus costs) of BIPV installations; this already has made some headway in the U.K. for products such as roof tiles and shingles. These are needed progress in performance and cost reductions, but they're not enough.

As niche market image of BIPV is changing, this presentation talks about various opportunities that exists for both PV firms and glass firms in this space. It talks about those factors that are likely to influence BIPV markets in the coming years. Also it discusses as how attempts are made to integrate supply chain of BIPV with the supply chain of local construction market and how BIPV firms are trying to build their own distribution network.

The Evolving Building Integrated Photovoltaics Marketn-tech Research
n-tech Research has witnessed the progression of technologies and products and suppliers into—and more often, out of—the BIPV market over the past six years. This market, as we see it now, is in a transition and must refine its messaging to an end-user base with shifting priorities.
More than ever, BIPV needs to be sold—and technologically developed—with an emphasis on aesthetics and what can be called its "smart" capabilities, vs. simply energy generation.
While energy efficiency is – and will remain – an important factor shaping sales of BIPV products. This means that in the future there will be more dimensions along which BIPV firms can compete. These, for example, would include color, transparency and substrate conformability.
We predict an acceleration toward truly integrated BIPV products within a building envelope, and a reshaping of manufacturing strategies and supply chains to develop and deliver these products.

Investigating Business Models for Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)Leonardo ENERGY
Solar cells (photovoltaics, PV) for electricity generation is forecasted to become one of the main contributors in the future energy system. Better building integration of PV (BIPV) is desired for aesthetical reasons and potentially also for cost savings. As of now, BIPV is generally more expensive than ordinary building applied PV installations (BAPV) or regular building components, which means there is a need to include other values in BIPV business models. This webinar presents the results from an inventory of existing business models and case studies, performed within the work of IEA-PVPS Task 15.
Addressing the Energy Efficiency First Principle in a National Energy and Cli...Leonardo ENERGY
When designing energy and climate policies, EU Member States have to apply the Energy Efficiency First Principle: priority should be given to measures reducing energy consumption before other decarbonization interventions are adopted. This webinar summarizes elements of the energy and climate policy of Cyprus illustrating how national authorities have addressed this principle so far, and outline challenges towards its much more rigorous implementation that is required in the coming years.
Auctions for energy efficiency and the experience of renewablesLeonardo ENERGY
Auctions are an emerging market-based policy instrument to promote energy efficiency that has started to gain traction in the EU and worldwide. This presentation provides an overview and comparison of several energy efficiency auctions and derives conclusions on the effects of design elements based on auction theory and on experiences of renewable energy auctions. We include examples from energy efficiency auctions in Brazil, Canada, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK, and US.

Energy and mobility poverty: Will the Social Climate Fund be enough to delive...Leonardo ENERGY
Prior to the current soaring energy prices across Europe, the European Commission proposed, as part of the FitFor55 climate and energy package, the EU Social Climate Fund to mitigate the expected social impact of extending the EU ETS to transport and heating.
The report presented in this webinar provides an update of the European Energy Poverty Index, published for the first time in 2019, which shows the combined effect of energy and mobility poverty across Member States. Beyond the regular update of the index, the report provides analysis of the existing EU policy framework related to energy and transport poverty. France is used as a case study given the “yellow vest” movement, which was triggered by the proposed carbon tax on fuels.

Energy Sufficiency Indicators and Policies (Lea Gynther, Motiva)Leonardo ENERGY
This policy brief looks at questions ‘how to measure energy sufficiency’, ‘which policies and measures can be used to address energy sufficiency’ and ‘how they are used in Europe today’.
Energy sufficiency refers to a situation where everyone has access to the energy services they need, whilst the impacts of the energy system do not exceed environmental limits. The level of ambition needed to address energy sufficiency is higher than in the case of energy efficiency.
This is the 13th edition of the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy, and number 519 in the Leonardo ENERGY series. The recording of the live presentation can be found on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEAdYbI0wDI&list=PLUFRNkTrB5O_V155aGXfZ4b3R0fvT7sKz

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

There is no market-pull: usual
actors of the construction sector
have only a low interest in BIPV
adoption.
Policymakers also have a
tremendous influence on the
adoption of BIPV, but only have a
medium interest.
Difference in both interest and
influence between building
occupants and building owners,

21. Cost evaluation of
BIPV: as a roof
construction
system
Most conventional roofing solutions
can be challenged by BIPV solutions.
In particular, the BIPV solutions based
on “in-roof mounting systems” can be
very competitive
Tailor-made BIPV solutions are more
expensive but can provide the
advantage of a better aesthetical
integration, and possibly additional
building-related functionalities.

22. Cost evaluation of
BIPV: as a facade
construction
system
BIPV façade systems can be
competitive with some conventional
systems, in particular high-end
systems.
Average façade system costs are based
on a wider range of costs due to the
variety of projects’ characteristics (size,
complexity, type and thickness of the
modules). a‐Si‐based curtain wall – Average system cost

23. Total cost and revenue of ownership
approach
This approach allows to determine whether an investment in a BIPV system is
attractive or not, compared to investing in a competing conventional building
envelope solution
REVENUES
* Initial investment
Extra cost of BIPV compared
to a conventional
construction solution
* Operation and
maintenance costs
* Savings on the
electricity bill for self-
consumed electricity
* Excess electricity fed-
back to the grid
COSTS
Competitiveness
[€/m²] ;
When positive, it indicates that it is worth investing the
extra costs associated to the BIPV system since they will
be compensated by the extra revenues
25. Typical residential rooftop
‐ Installed BIPV capacity : 6‐8 kWp
‐ Surface covered by the system : 50 m²
‐ Annual self‐consumption rate : 30%
BIPV tiles
In‐roof mounted conventional PV system
Roofing BIPV solutions in the residential
segment are globally already competitive.
Generated electricity largely covers the
marginal extra cost due to BIPV and even
generates revenues of more than 200€
per installed square meter of BIPV (over
the entire lifetime of the system), in the
case of an “in-roof mounting system”.

26. CIGS ventilated facade
c‐Si ventilated facade
Typical commercial facade:
‐ Installed BIPV capacity : 36‐41 kWp
‐ Surface covered by the system : 270 m²
‐ Annual self‐consumption rate : 90%
Compared with BIPV systems on roofs:
non-optimal irradiation conditions on the
façade
substantially higher than average end user
costs
The Netherlands & France:
Quite low compensable retail electricity
prices
Less optimal irradiation than in southern
European countries
Italy:
High irradiation
Relatively high retail electricity prices.
Switzerland:
BIPV specific direct incentives
Relatively generous feed-in premium.
