There is no shortage of solar-derived energy on Earth, and we have yet to fully harness its tremendous potential to power our planet's insatiable energy demands.
Since ancient times, solar energy has been harnessed for human use through a range of technologies. Photovoltaics (PV) is the use of solar cells to convert sunlight directly into electricity. Due to the growing demand for clean sources of energy, the manufacture of solar cells and photovoltaic arrays has expanded dramatically in recent years.
In the past few years, the solar PV market has experienced massive growth, both in installed capacity and production, although hindered by a global shortage of solar grade silicon. This report includes opposing viewpoints within the industry regarding the anticipated period of this shortage.
Globally, China has played a major role in 2006 and 2007 in the global PV market. Chinese solar PV companies have developed almost overnight and several have already conducted IPOs. A rapidly growing production capacity for solar cells and modules has been accompanied by rising production and recycling of silicon.
Most PV production in China is exported. Germany, Japan and the USA remain the world leaders, but new countries are entering the PV market as demand spreads. Recent developments have been accompanied by uncertainty due to the collapse in the statistical recording system in Germany, the largest market with half the world's installed capacity.
This report examines the global photovoltaic market. It includes an analysis of the major players as well as regional and country analysis of the global PV marke
