Abstract
REPORT SUMMARY
The worldwide photovoltaic (PV) market currently produces over 5,900 megawatts
with a market value of $29 billion. Although the PV market will likely slow
this year, within the next five years the installed base is expected to
double, surpassing $45 billion.
The Future of Photovoltaics provides quantitative market data broken
down by cell type, end-use sector and region, and forecasts growth over the
next five years to 2014. The report provides comprehensive coverage of
siliconbased PV cells as well as emerging PV technologies and details the most
significant market and technology drivers along the PV supply chain. The
report is essential reading for anyone working in or with the PV industry.
