Summary

The solar PV market continued to grow in 2007, both in installed capacity and production although it was held back by a worldwide shortage of solar grade silicon. Opinions differ within the industry as to the future duration of this shortage and these are discussed in the report. 2006 and 2007 have been significant, with the entry of an important new player in the global market, China. Chinese solar PV companies have developed very fast and a number have conducted IPOs in China and other countries. A mushrooming production capacity for solar cells and modules has been accompanied by growing production and re-cycling of silicon. Domestic demand in China has not kept pace and it is an export oriented industry to date.

Germany, followed by Japan and the USA still remains the global leader, but new countries are entering the market and the industry is spreading beyond its historical areas. These developments have been accompanied by some uncertainty because of a breakdown in the statistical recording system in Germany, the largest market, with half the world's installed capacity.

Outline of Report

The report provides data up to the end of 2006 and available information for 2007
Germany has consolidated its position as the largest solar PV market, followed by Japan and the USA
The dramatic emergence of China as a world player, with ambitious expansion plans for Solar PV
There has been a surge of IPOs in the solar PV industry, with many Chinese and US start-ups seeking capital
The silicon shortage continued and is evaluated, the future outlook discussed
New feedstock technologies and sources are emerging to combat the global silicon shortage
Continued entries of large Japanese corporations into the solar market
Big plans for Japanese and German companies, with large production expansion
At least five companies have staked their position to become the "world leader"
