THE FUTURE OF FLEXIBLE AND THINFILM PHOTOVOLTAICS - MARKET AND TECHNOLOGY FORECASTS TO 2019 published by Pira International in August, 2009. This report price starts from US $ 5425.
Abstract
REPORT SUMMARY
Flexible and thin-film photovoltaic (PV) cells are approaching efficiencies of
20%, and are rapidly closing the performance and cost gap on bulk silicon PV
cells. The Future of Flexible and Thin-Film Photovoltaics provides in-depth
data and analysis of the flexible and thin-film PV cells market, broken down
by cell type, end use and region. This brand new market report also outlines
cutting-edge technology developments and drivers, and details the drivers and
challenges shaping the future of the industry. It also takes an in-depth look
at the opportunities for PV material and chemical suppliers. With 10 year
forecasts, the report will help those working in the industry meet today' s
challenges as well as target future opportunities in key sectors.
