Within only a few years, China has become the world’s leading nation regarding the supply of photovoltaic products. In 2008, the Chinese “PV factory” has produced about 37 percent of the global cell and 44 percent of the worldwide module supply. Due to further capacity increases, considerable cost advantages and an increasingly strong international position, Chinese PV companies can be expected to remain strong competitors on the global PV market in the future.

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) has played a rather marginal role during the boom in rooftop and open space plants. The most significant reasons were the low number of marketable solutions – the high module and system prices for instance. Additionally, only a few countries developed specific feed-in tariffs or promotion schemes to compensate for these difficulties. However, because of technical advancements, the number of marketable products is rising. At the same time manufacturers are currently on the search for alternatives to the narrowing market for non-integrated PV systems. EuPD Research estimates the market for BIPV up to 300 MW in 2009 and up to 400 MW in 2010. [» more]

Against the background of a competitive market environment it is becoming more and more difficult to compare oneself to the competition. Highly relevant aspects are for instance the price policy as well as the sales network and details on installed system components. The possibility to effectively monitor such decisions as a manufacturer is however confined. Instead of monitoring price and sales developments on the part of the company it is however also possible to consider these aspects from the perspective of the consumer. [» more]

Grid Parity is believed to be the holy grail of the photovoltaic (PV) industry: the point in time when the cost of electricity produced through PV will equal the price for electricity from the grid. It is commonly postulated by renowned industry representatives that once grid parity is reached the PV industry will not require any support or incentives to thrive. But will this really be the case?
