Germany’s Solar Photovoltaic Market Witnesses Increased Customer Interest, says New Report

May 12, 2009 - PRLog -- Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report which offers a comprehensive outlook of the German solar photovoltaic market.

“The German solar photovoltaic market: A New Era of Competition Dawns”, available at http://www.reportbuyer.com/go/RAL00002 reports that although Germany’s geographical position on the world map does not make it an ideal location for solar energy as it receives only moderate levels of solar radiation, it ranks second place in the photovoltaic (PV) market, generating about one quarter of the total world market.

While PV generating capacity is set to increase, there is some uncertainty regarding the pace of growth in Germany given the current economic crisis.  What is clear, however, is that the recent expansion of capacity at all stages in the German PV value chain is resulting in an increase in the availability of modules. Consequently, the industry is observing a significant reduction in prices and a shift from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market, according to the report.

The strength of this 66-page report therefore lies in the analysis of German PV value chain, providing detailed company specific information on manufacturers of silicon, wafers, cells, modules, Poly-Si, a-Si, CIS, CIGS, CdTe and CPV-based photovoltaic technologies. It shows how recent economic changes and political support for the solar PV market is resulting in a new era of competition heading toward grid parity.
