Global Market Research on Solar Modules and Cells

In these days of advanced technologies and increasing levels of eco pollution, energy consumption is touching new heights. With non-renewable sources such as oil and coal depleting rapidly, the world is on the lookout for new alternative sources of energy. The search for best-suited alternative sources of energy for the future has led to major developments in the areas of solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, fuel cells, and biomass energies. Various forms of energy that were successfully commercialized include wind and solar energies. While generation of power from wind is limited to windy areas, solar power generation does not have any such limitations. The most abundant and free form of energy is sunlight. With sun, an inexhaustible and vast source of energy, sunlight (solar energy) reaching the earth is more than a few thousand times greater than the total amount of energy used by mankind on the planet.
