Year 2010: Photovoltaic Industry and European Union


Description: The market research report "Year 2010: Photovoltaic Industry and European Union" gives a comprehensive analysis of the photovoltaic (PV) industry and its impact on the European Union. The report also looks into the use of photovoltaic as a major source of electricity in the European countries in the coming years. Projections are made till the year 2010. Europe's photovoltaic sector has become very advanced and many policies are being designed to make sure that there is a sustained and secure supply of energy as well as a reduction in the greenhouse gases.

The global PV market as well as the European market has grown remarkably with an average of approximately 35% in the last five years. In 2004, 410 MWp were installed for electricity generation in Europe alone. As far as the manufacture of photovoltaic cells is concerned, almost half of them, approximately 47.9%, are manufactured in Japan. Europe comes second with 26.5% of the world production share. United States is third with 14.3%. Europe aims to follow the Japanese model and grow within the next 20 years to become the largest producer and consumer of photovoltaic cells.

European Union's approach is to fulfill its target of generating 3GWp (Glendale water and power units) of renewable photovoltaic electricity by 2010. For achieving this target, European Commission has built the Community Strategy and Action Plan on Renewable Sources of Energy; with its help the European Union aims to achieve the required target by 2008. The EU needs to have a common vision and strategy for becoming the biggest producer and consumer of photovoltaic technologies.

The report gives an overview of the world photovoltaic market and the target of the European Union with regard to that. The key EU PV markets are discussed along with the major market players and their strategies/technologies. The main countries that have PV development support plans are mentioned in the report. Complete market dynamics of the terrestrial photovoltaic sector like the technology, segmentation, and region wise break-up are discussed.

Emerging solar technologies that include printable and dye cells are analyzed along with other renewable sources of energy. The government support, standards, and environmental conditions are also discussed along with the projections till the year 2010.
