N2  - CrystalClear is an Integrated Project carried out in the 6 th  Framework Program of the European Union.  The main project aim is to reduce the direct manufacturing costs of crystalline silicon PV modules to 1 ?/Wp, when  produced in next-generation plants. CrystalClear deals  with the entire crystalline silicon value chain from silicon  feedstock up to module manufacturing. In the course of the project, which started in 2004, several ?overall?  technologies have been defined and developed. These technologies represent different combinations of wafer  options, cell and module designs as well as processing approaches. They have been analysed in terms of their  manufacturing costs, assuming large-scale production. It is found that crystalline silicon PV technology has the  potential to reach direct module manufacturing costs of  around 1 ?/Wp on a relatively short term (i.e. within  ?5  years). This implies that wafer-based crystalline silicon photovoltaics is compatible with the requirements to achieve  grid parity, see the Strategic Research  Agenda of the PV Technology Platform,  www.eupvplatform.org.  Critical  conditions to reach this cost level are: efficient silicon utilization (g/Wp module power), high total area module  efficiency and high-throughput, high-yield production
