[SPN-Discussion] Trends in the Global Solar Photovoltaics Industry

[SPN Events]

I enclose details of our guide to the trends in the global SPV industry.   

Photovoltaics, today, is a fast-growing and dynamic industry and its success
story has been driven both by national support schemes and first-class
research and demonstration. The current levels of dependence on fossil
fuels, the need of reducing the carbon emissions associated with energy use
and the prospects of developing a new and extremely innovative technology
sector, make photovoltaics increasingly attractive.   

Although photovoltaic currently appears a costly option for producing
electricity compared with other energy sources, many countries support this
technology because of its promising future potential and the additional
benefits besides generating electricity.   

As PV matures into a mainstream technology, grid integration and management
and energy storage become key issues. The PV industry, grid operators and
utilities will need to develop new technologies and strategies to integrate
very large amounts of PV into flexible, efficient and smart grids. Future
work needs to address technical developments closely with standards
development, as well as changes in regulatory frameworks, so that
photovoltaic technology becomes an active part of the tomorrow's electricity
networks.   

Aruvian's R'search presents Trends in the Global Solar Photovoltaics
Industry - an analysis of the major trends as observed in the solar PV
industry worldwide. The report, further to covering the major trends, also
analyzes the major global markets in terms of industry statistics, market
developments, major markets and players, and much more.
