Abstracts

Global demand for energy is rising at a rapid pace as population growth and economic prosperity is enabling developing and emerging markets to buy increasing amounts of energy consuming products. The nuclear catastrophe in Japan has shifted the focus of economies around the globe and raised demand for alternatively sourced electricity. Meanwhile, risks of oil supply disruptions from Middle East and North African countries are at an all time high; hence the price of crude oil and related products are expected to remain high over the next few years. Most advanced nations capable of investing in photovoltaic energy will do so, and as a result investment in photovoltaic technology will grow strongly over the forecast period. Visiongain has calculated the global solar power photovoltaic market to be worth $50.6bn in 2011.
