“…Photovoltalic (PV) technology is one of the most rapidly evolving areas of the “green” power generation industry.”
In 2009, the overall installed capacity of PV arrays in all countries of the world exceeded 19 GWt and demonstrated a 4.2-times growth over the last five years, thus proving a considerable interest of governments, commercial sector and consumers in this electricity generation technology.
The rapid development of the world PV market is determined primarily by those key factors which have contributed to the prompt market maturation and the transition from prototype production to wide-scale industrial manufacture of solar batteries.
The significant investments in the field of renewable power sources made by the governments of such countries as Germany, Japan, USA, Canada, Spain, Italy and China, had a remarkable impact on the impressive growth rates of the solar energy market. As a result, it became possible to increase dramatically the efficiency of commercially available solar cells and to reduce their costs. Thus, solar cells have turned into a real alternative to the existing power generation technologies.
The large-scale measures initiated in the West European, North American and Asian Pacific countries for supporting “green” energy have played a similarly important role in the evolvement of this industry. As a result, the market of photovoltalic technologies has entered a growth phase very quickly. This fact increases the attractiveness of PV area for consumers and facilitates the reduction of final costs of the solar energy-based solutions…”
