(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/08fcb1/global_solar_photo)
has announced the addition of the "Global Solar Photovoltaic Market
Report (2008)" report to their offering.
Photovoltaics (PV) is a solar power technology that uses solar cells or
solar photovoltaic arrays to convert light from the sun directly into
electricity. Photovoltaics is also the field of study relating to this
technology and there are many research institutes devoted to work on
photovoltaics. The manufacture of photovoltaic cells has expanded
dramatically in recent years. Photovoltaic production has also been
doubling every two years, increasing by an average of 48 percent each
year since 2002, making it the world's fastest-growing energy
technology.
At the end of 2007, according to preliminary data, cumulative global
production of solar PV systems was 12,400 megawatts. Roughly 90% of
this generating capacity consists of grid-tied electrical systems. Such
installations may be ground-mounted (and sometimes integrated with
farming and grazing) or building integrated. Financial incentives, such
as preferential feed-in tariffs for solar-generated electricity and net
metering, have supported solar PV installations in many countries
including Germany, Japan, and the United States.
The report Global Solar Photovoltaic Market analyzes this industry,
starting from the basics to what is driving this industry. The report
starts off with a brief overview of the global energy market which
contains data on global energy statistics, outlook for the industry,
the growing focus on renewable energy worldwide, and of course, the
potential of solar energy. The report then moves on discussing the
basic technology behind solar photovoltaics. The section looks at PV
cells and modules, inverters, the various components of a PV system,
and the various types of PV systems available today.
Moving on to the global photovoltaic industry, the report analyzes the
entire PV market in terms of application area, global PV production
statistics, and the future potential of solar photovoltaics. Strategies
and recommendations for researchers, analysts, and in general, is a
highlight of section four of the report. Factors affecting the growth
of solar photovoltaics such as the focus on clean energy, security of
energy supplies, etc., are described in details, along with the
challenges and barriers facing the market at the same time. The
regulatory framework affecting the worldwide PV market is also focused
upon in the report, dealing with indirect policy issues, initiatives
supporting and promoting PV technology, amongst others.
A cost analysis of solar photovoltaics is a major highlight of this
report. A country-wise analysis of the PV industry is further
undertaken, while an entire section deals with the major solar PV
companies in the world. Primary solar photovoltaic projects, and PV
plants, such as the Solar Park in Beneixama, the Solar Power Plant in
Saarbrucken Airport, etc., are also profiled, along with statistical
data, in this research report.
Note: This report may take up to 2-3 working days to get updated and
delivered.
