PV-Cells, the U ft. 79« at retail fluorescent 

 lamp Is a Cost/Production Value-Analysis Model 

 Hlth comparable materials, complex-Processing 

 and quantities. A single Horizontal Lamp Machine 

 (GE Bucyrus, OH Plont) processes four lamps (or 

 adapted to 'PV Power Tubes') per second, 

 from glass-furnace to finished Lamps; an 

 equivalent production of 630 HegaMOtts per Year. 

 Then a value-analysis of 44 "Power Tubes" at 79<, 

 plus Frame, Integrated Circuits and 

 Coupler-Transformer suggests a 2 sg.ratr., 

 0.20 kW-inc SVUG at $75 Each or $3U0/kH. 



REflEDIES 



Nr. Chairman, I respectfully submit the following as 

 areas of concern that can benefit from remedial actions 

 by this Task Force. 



I. An evaluation by the OFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY 

 ASSESSMENT of near-term Solar Voltaic Generation in the 

 Bonneville Power Administration system and of the 

 technical readiness of the Department of Energy 

 Photovoltaic Program to transition to large-scale 

 generation, can provide direction and energy planning 

 for both the Northwest Power Planning Council and the 

 Bonneville Power Administration.
