Abstract
Worldwide shipments of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules surged by 54% to over 1 Gigawatt in 2004 and a CAGR of 43% for the last 5 years. While this is a tremendous achievement, there is still a cloud of uncertainly surrounding the industry. Key issues involve the silicon feedstock shortage, the high price of starting material, and the reports of sold-out conditions well into 2006. Given these supply constraints, shipment growth will slow considerably.
Photovoltaic Manufacturer Shipments 2004-2005 is an in-depth look at the supply side of the photovoltaic industry. Strategies Unlimited analyzes shipments and capacity providing insight into industry trends useful to executives. This new report is currently available from Strategies Unlimited.
