This three-in-one report features essential supply, shipment and company profile data and analysis on over 210 different cell manufacturers. It is ideal for all companies in the PV supply chain allowing:
- Solar cell manufacturers to benchmark their competitors by technology, region, efficiency, level of integration, etc. as well as identify potential partners.
- Equipment and materials suppliers to identify all opportunities by region, technology, etc.
- Module suppliers and system integrators to evaluate and contact solar cell suppliers.
- Financial and industry analysts to track the health and fab utilization of the solar cell market by region, technology and company. It also measures which technologies, regions and companies are enjoying the fastest and slowest growth.

In addition to a detailed database, this report features a Powerpoint report analyzing the most essential content and four sheets of automated metrics and analytics incorporating 58 tables and 14 figures:
- Capacity and shipments by supplier
- Capacity and shipments by country and region
- Capacity and shipments by technology
- Capacity and shipments by technology and country and region

Other essential content provided includes:
- Fab/Mfg. data (for each fab reveals):
-- Fab location
-- 2005 - 2012 capacity by fab
-- 2005 – 2009 shipments by fab
-- Substrate size
-- Equipment suppliers
-- Wafer suppliers
-- Cell and module efficiency

- Company info/data
-- Date established
-- Module customers
-- Level of integration – silicon, wafers, modules and system integration
-- Contact info – address, phone, fax, email and web site for HQs, fab locations and regional sales offices
-- Comments/analysis

Methodology:?Solar cell manufacturers are interviewed and surveyed to acquire the desired content. YMR analysts also survey the suppliers and customers of solar cell manufacturers to verify this data. YMR analysts also review all PV company earnings releases, earnings calls and financial analyst reports for relevant information.

The first issue featured a number of highlights the first of which was a significant mismatch between cell manufacturers' 2009 shipment targets and the likely outcome. It also explained why this occurred. Other highlights include:
- First Solar will rise from #3 to #1 in shipments for the first time in 2009 with a healthy lead over its top competitors on cost leadership and strong demand from the growing utility market.
- Thin film technologies a-Si and CIGS are expected to occupy 17% of worldwide capacity in 2009, but just 9% of shipments on technical challenges, higher capital costs in the case of a-Si, higher balance of system costs due to lower efficiencies and strong competition from CdTe and c-Si technologies whose costs and prices are falling at a rapid rate. There are now 93 cell manufacturers participating in a-Si and CIGS. With most of these companies suffering from low utilization, consolidation should accelerate in these areas.
- The 2009 capacity growth rate will be 40% less than 2008 as suppliers look to preserve cash. A majority of listed companies lost money in Q1’09 with average operating margins falling from double-digits through Q3’08 to 3% in Q1’09.
- 42% CAGR in nameplate capacity to 50GWs in 2012 with at least 18% annual growth as healthy demand growth returns in 2010 due to lower prices and larger stimulus programs worldwide.
- China is expected to lead in total capacity throughout the forecast, maintaining at least a 31% share. Its share of c-Si capacity is expected to be closer to 40% throughout the forecast. In thin film, China is expected to overtake the US in capacity in 2009 and maintain the top spot through 2011.
