The NewPOL Network Perspective Report and Comments Summary : keywords/phrases The scale of developments in the use of solar energy – State of the arts and perspectives of Photovoltaic Technology – New Technologies in the use of solar energy : the thin layers-photovoltaic – Heating and cooling with solarthermical installations – Climate change: What is the most appropriate strategy ? - Drastic decrease in greenhouse gas is necessary – Must be a tangible decrease in the price of solar energy technology – Virtual power plants – How do you dispose of solar cells ? --- > Recycling – Protection of human kind – Fossil fuel energy is being used up – Changes in temperature and CO2 are correlated – Permanent increase in temperature 2004: 380 ppm of CO2: most important since last 600 years – CO2 Emission Free Energy Sources = nuclear, wind, water, biomass, solar energy, … - Potential of renewable energy sources – Solar energy: only way to solve the energy problem on earth – 6 areas on planet to provide sufficient energy for the whole world – Round-theclock use of energy sources – Solar energy: global market > 100 million euros that could be increased by 10 – We must drastically reduce the emission of gas – The Photovoltaic market – ultrathin crystalline silicon – Thin film solar cells - Crystalline silicon wafer technology still dominates – Two lines of the PV family: 1. Crystalline silicon (0.2-0.4 mm thick); 2. Thin film PV (3-5 microns thick) – Flexible lightweight foils – We have an enormous potential to decrease energy consumption – Air-conditioning through solar energy – Cooling through solar energy… Comments There was a feeling of urgency in the presentations that was close to desperation. The lecturers were obviously exasperated by the chronic world inertia regarding the present environmental problems and climate change. The main world challenge here is changing the State of Mind across frontiers regarding this issue. This objective can be achieved through “interfaces” and changing The System. Worldwide. We tentatively propose the NewPOL Network Paradigm. ***
