Is it possible for a new technology to be a successful market entrant in photovoltaic electricity generation?

A technology such as crystalline Si PV that is established in the market has enjoyed a long period unit cost coming down the learning curve. A new PV technology with the potential to achieve lower unit cost than the incumbent must decide to enter the market at an uneconomic point. The talk will identify factors the incumbent must consider and the assumptions underlying the learning curve. It is a work in progress.
