Summary

SPV 2006 outlines the technology and the industry, with the applications of solar photovoltaics. The report analyses the changes and developments in the global markets and details the key findings. The consolidation of Japan and Germany as leaders, with the USA challenging again. The dramatic emergence of China as a world player, with ambitious expansion plans for Solar PV. The report asks fundamental questions and looks at key issues - is China set to become the most powerful competitor in the global market? Why the sudden withdrawal of Shell Solar and RWE from the solar PV sector? The continued entries of large Japanese corporations into the solar market?
