Posted on: Thursday, 11 September 2008, 06:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c09258/global_solar_photo) has announced the addition of the "Global Solar Photovoltaic Industry Analysis and Forecasts" report to their offering.

This market research report on "Global Solar Photovoltaic Industry Analysis and Forecasts" evaluates the global photovoltaic (PV) industry. The report provides extensive research on the growing photovoltaic industry at global as well as country level. Detailed data analysis will help potential investor to know the current market trends and growth forecasts of the photovoltaic industry.

This report contains detailed data on global cumulative photovoltaic capacity, by country annual installed photovoltaic capacity, and investment done in sustainable energy (Solar Photovoltaic Energy, Biofuels, Biomass and Waste, Wind, Other Renewables, EE/Other Low Carbon). This report will help clients to understand the market drivers and restrictions in the growth of the photovoltaic industry. On the global warming issue, this report has also analyzed the tonnes of CO2 saved with the use of photovoltaic cells.

Market Overview

Crude oil prices increased to a new height in the last 4 years, virtually forcing many governments to look to solar photovoltaic as an alternative fuel. The European Union dominated the global photovoltaic market in the year 2006. European Union cumulative installed photovoltaic was 43.46 percent which is expected to increase to 49.45 percent by the year 2007. Germany is the biggest player in the photovoltaic industry but it is expected that by the end of 2012 the U.S. will takeover Germany in annual installed capacity.

Our Research:

-- CO2 savings with the use of photovoltaic cells from the year 2006 to F2030.

-- Emerging employment scenario in solar photovoltaic industry sector wise (Installation, Production, Wholesaler, Research, and Supply).

-- Venture capital investments in solar power companies in U.S. from the year 2001 to 2007.

-- Reasons for rising oil prices from the year 1970 to 2007 (With a gap of 5 years).

-- Global investments in the sustainable energy market will grow with a CAGR of 45.67 percent from the year 2004 to 2007.

-- The employment in photovoltaic sector in Germany has grown with a CAGR of 72.85 percent from the year 1999 to 2007.
