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]
With a total installed capacity of around only 18 MW in 2008, the development of the UK’s PV sector has been rather slow in the past. In fact, PV technology has been thought to have only a niche application. However, the generous feed-in tariff which was introduced in the UK on April 1st, 2010, will undoubtedly have an enormous impact on the PV industry. [» more]
The inverter industry is leaving its infancy years and becoming a more mature industry. However, now that it is beyond the teething years, it is more important than ever to be able to do more that just supply. [» more]
Many manufacturers focus their sales efforts on the solar installer as the sales intermediary. This is with good reason. However, in a possibly shrinking market it is also of great importance to scrutinize the buying process of customers itself.
