Abstract:	The objective of IEA PVPS Task 8 is to examine and evaluate the potential of Very Large Scale Photovoltaic Power Generation (VLS-PV) Systems on desert areas, which have a capacity ranging from multi-Megawatt to Gigawatt, and to develop practical proposals for demonstrative research toward realization of the VLS-PV Systems in the future. Task 8 started in 1999 (as 1st-Phase) and the 2nd-Phase was succeeded in 2005. To develop these results toward an implementation of VLS-PV system, we’ve started 3rd-phase activity. In 3rd-Phase (2006-2008), specific case studies from viewpoints of local, regional and global aspect are carried out, and financial and institutional scenarios and a general instruction for practical project proposals are developed. Also, considerable future technical options implementing VLS-PV system are analyzed. Through the activities, Task 8 will give recommendations to stakeholders and for world brightness future.
