Why PV?
Over the past 5 years, SEMI members and other industry stakeholders in the semiconductor and FPD industries have expanded their business into PV
As a semiconductor technology, PV is a natural extension of our members’ product portfolio
Increasingly favorable legislation in mature and new markets andhistoric technology know-how have created significant opportunities for our members
And… PV pure players need representation on a regional and global level
PV Group – Who Are We?
The SEMI PV Group is the global industry association for the solar energy manufacturing supply chain.
Our member companies provide cells, modules, equipment and materials to the global supply chain.
Our mission is to advance the growth and profitability of PV Group members through sustained long term growth of the global PV Energy Industry with focus on:• Continuous manufacturing cost reductions• Global market transformation• Sustainable business practices
PV Group Mission Our mission is to advance the growth and profitability of PV Group
members through sustained long term growth of the global PV Energy Industry with focus on:
• Continuous manufacturing cost reductions• Global market transformation• Sustainable business practices
We accomplish our mission through:• International standards development• Networking events• Public Policy advocacy• Environmental, Health & Safety support• Market information & Statistics• Technology Roadmap development
Through our global membership we collectively address the critical issues of our time to find ways to reduce costs, accelerate innovation and profitably advance the industry.

Roadmap Activities
“Group of 8” engagement in Europe• March 2010: 8 major European c-Si cell manufacturers formed Special
Interest Group in SEMI PV Group Europe auspices to work on crystalline silicon technology roadmap
• Early draft/conceptual paper available at http://www.itrpv.net
US Industry Collaboration Effort• Started with joint DOE/PV Group workshop in 2009• Survey and survey results webinar in October/November ’09 • Collaboration workshop at Intersolar North America 2010 today at
2:00 PM, Intercontinental Hotel – register now!
“Roadmaps define where the industry competes, standards define where they collaborate.”
Public Policy
Active policy and advocacy support through SEMI regional offices Representing member and industry needs in diverse markets
across the globe• Supporting RE legislation and pushing for fast implementation• Encouraging legislators to increase solar portion of RE legislation• Engaging law makers to tie in policy with domestic supply chain
support
Hosting policy events in Europe, N. America and Asia to foster direct dialogue among industry and legislators
Market Research
Strong network of strategic partners in market intelligence• Greentech Media• Lux Research• AltaTerra Research• EuPD Research• Gartner• Linx Consulting• IMS Research• Others
PV Equipment Book-to-Bill Report in progress Outreach to US Department of Energy to contribute to supply chain map in
all 50 states

Collaboration and strategic alliances with other organizations and government agencies have been a core principle in SEMI for 40 years
PV supply chain dynamics demand strength in core competencies and intelligent partnerships in adjacent segments and areas of lesser expertise
Partners benefit from PV Group’s global footprint, strong regional communities and breadth of service portfolio
PV Group members gain access to potential customers in adjacent segments, contacts and in-depth information
