September 8, 2008 Second Global Demand Conference
August 21, 2008 Solar industry faces hard times
| Solar energy (PV) module production capacity will be almost twice as great as global market demand for PV by the end of this year. This could lead to an oversupply situation and can put many manufacturers in a difficult position.
The growing gap between supply and demand anticipated over the next few months could hit the solar industry hard. Since the solar industry is still largely dependent on government support and/or incentive schemes, demand is extremely vulnerable to changes in these schemes. read more...> |

July 17, 2008 Report: The global PV market: fasten your seatbelts
| Oversupply will start new and dynamic phase in rapidly growing solar industry. The worldwide market for solar (PV) energy and the PV industry itself have grown substantially in 2007 and early 2008. However, growth in the production of solar panels appears to have outpaced growth in the demand side of the market. This could lead to an oversupply situation. Growth in the worldwide demand for solar panels is still entirely dependent on, and limited by, local subsidy programmes. In> various countries new subsidy programmes are commencing, but in the largest markets contributions are being cut back. 2008 could therefore be a turning point and a crucial year for the development of the international PV market and industry. read more...> |

July 17, 2008 The global PV market: fasten your seatbelts
| The enormous growth in the solar industry will lead to an oversupply situation in the short term; however, grid-parity could be reached in three to four years’ time leading to an infinite market. This is one of the conclusions to emerge this week from a free market report released by solarplaza.com. read more...> |

May 30, 2008 Martin Roscheisen of Nanosolar on the need for aggressive innovation in technology.
| Spectacular growth is seen in thin-film solar cells throughout the world. By 2010, its market share is expected to have grown to 20% from the present 8%.
According to Martin Roscheisen, CEO of Nanosolar, ‘the future’s bright for those who can deliver on cost below First Solar's -- such as printed CIGS; it’s cloudy for those who don’t -- such as high-vacuum CIGS or high-vacuum silicon.’ read more...> |
