Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fc8cf423/nextgeneration_hi)
has announced the addition of the "Next-Generation
High Efficiency Crystalline Si Solar Cell Technology and Market Forecast
(2008-2015)" report to their offering.
The PV market had grown explosively with the annual growth rate of more
than 75% since 2006 to 2010, propelled by subsidy packages of each
government, letting the entire world realize the growth potential of the
renewable energy industry. However, the rapid growth of the PV market in
a short period time produced a side effect - a sharp increase in
financial burden of each government due to the subsidies. Accordingly,
as countries in and around Europe, the major PV markets, began to push
policies concentrated on the rooftop with swinging cuts to subsidies,
the PV industry is undergoing a change - a significant increase in
demand for the high efficiency solar cells that allows small area for
higher output at low cost.
The most typical examples of the high efficiency c-Si solar cell are IBC
(Interdigitated Back Contact) of Sunpower and HIT(Hetero-junction with
Intrinsic Thin-film) of Sanyo. Efficiency of these products is 3-4%
higher than that of typical c-Si solar cells, but the prices are more
than 40% higher. Thus it is not easy for those products to come into
wide use, considering the on-going race for low-cost implementation in
the PV market. Using this market situation as a stepping stone to
strengthen the identity of 'China Brand' and increase their market
share, Chinese companies are devoting their all strength to
commercialization of low and middle priced high-efficiency Si solar
cells such as Selective Emitter, MWT (Metallization Wrap-through),
Bifacial before and after 2011.
