Global Solar Photovoltaic Industry Analysis

March 19, 2009 - PRLog -- Energy Business Reports announces its newest research report Global Solar Photovoltaic Industry Analysis. The report examines the global growth in solar PV technologies and offers production statistics in major markets.

While the abundant solar energy has yet to be totally harnessed for power, within the past several years, the use of photovoltaics has increased on a huge level. With the demand for clean energy growing, the manufacturing of PV devices has expanded exponentially. The entire industry has been growing, in production and in installation. A new report evaluates the global photovoltiac market. It shows how growth in this potentially huge market has stalled due to low supplies of solar grade silicon and how the industry is overcoming political and regulatory hurdles.

China is showing unprecedented growth in the solar PV market, and this report examines which companies and technologies are leading the market. In just the past few years, solar PV  companies in China have blossomed. They are not only increasing production of silicon but recycling it, making it easier for them to produce more solar modules and cells.

Most PV production in China is exported. The world market leaders are still Japan, the United States, and Germany, but many newer countries are getting involved in this market as well, especially as the demand begins to rise.                                                                

The Global Solar Photovoltaic Industry Analysis also provides an in-depth analysis of the regulatory frameworks in major solar PV producing countries, and profiles 42 global players in the photovoltaic market.

This report explains the various applications of solar PV, provides an explanation of the photovoltaic industry value chain, and the global silicon feedstock and thin film solar PV markets.
