Renewable Energy - Solar Thermal and Photovoltaics Market - UK 2010-2020
AMA Research, Sep 2010, Pages: 71
In the UK, the market for Solar Thermal and PV systems is still relatively underdeveloped, but the government's target of 15% of energy to be derived from renewables by 2020 assumes significant growth in order to meet this commitment.
The report contains:
- MARKET OVERVIEW – market size for solar thermal and PV systems, review of key market influences and analysis of current developments.
- KEY MARKET DRIVERS & BARRIERS TO GROWTH.
- REVIEW OF SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION STRUCTURE.
- FORECASTS FOR MARKET DEVELOPMENTS UP TO 2020 –volumes/product and sector mix.
Solar thermal and PV systems are a well accepted technology in many European countries, but overall volume demand is still relatively low in the UK – though growing in recent years. Leading players are a mix of specialists in solar systems, or parts of major groups involved in the heating industry. In the medium term, capacity will need to increase - not only in terms of production, but also in terms of installation capability to meet demand projections.
Ares of particular interest include:
- UK market development compared with activity in key European markets.
- Government incentives to stimulate developments in the renewable energy sector.
- Overview of market drivers and barriers to growth in UK – key opportunities and constraints.
- Residential sector overview - new build, self build, etc.
- Market forecasts up to 2020 – volumes, key sectors.
Key areas of coverage in the report include:
