Research and Markets announced the addition of a new report titled ‘Thin - Film Photovoltaic (PV) Cells Market Analysis to 2020 - CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Diselenide) to Emerge as the Major Technology by 2020’. The report offers important analysis and information on the worldwide market opportunities in the thin film solar PV industry.
Thin Film Solar Cells
The PV market report discusses the major market drivers, growth forecast and restrains for thin film technologies including Copper Indium Gallium Diselenide (CIGS), Cadium Telluride (Cdte), and Amorphous silicon (a-Si). The study gives the in-depth analysis of thin film PV module production and capacity, major industry players, and key countries. The thin film industry report analyzes global thin film solar market with comparisons to various technologies.
According to the report, the top thin film manufacturing countries, namely the US, China, and Japan are announcing regulations and incentives for the expansion of renewable energy. The production of thin film modules is expected to grow at 24% from 2009 to 2020; and to achieve a production of 22,214 MW by 2020. GBI Research’s estimation indicates that by 2020, thin film PV will extend its share to approximately 38%. The thin film technology is projected to outperform the leading traditional PV technology to achieve the grid parity objective.
The companies mentioned in the report are First Solar, Unisolar, Moser Baer, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Solibro, Global Solar, Ascent Solar Technologies, Kaneka, Abound Solar, Fuji Electric Systems, Sharp, Wuerth Solar, and Showa Cell.
