EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

AM Mindpower Solutions announces the release of its new research report titled
“Global Solar Photovoltaic Market Outlook to 2015 - Asia Pacific the Next Epicenter in
PV Industry”. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of the Solar PV industry across
the globe. It includes a detail analysis of the global chapter with further analysis on solar PV
market in various regions such as Europe, Asia Pacific and North America. The report also
covers in-depth analysis on 12 major countries across the globe such as Germany, Spain,
Italy, Czech Republic, France, Japan, Australia, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Canada and the
US.
The report covers information on various topics such as On-grid and Off-grid cumulative and
annual installed capacity, PV power per capita, cell and module production in various
regions, market segmentation, trends and developments prevailing across the major regions
and competitive landscape of the major players operating in the countries. The report entails
the SWOT analysis of solar PV market in various countries.
The future outlook presents the base case, conservative case and aggressive case scenario
factor analysis providing an insight on the prospects in the solar PV cumulative and annual
installed capacity for all the countries and region. The report also includes the cause and
effect relationship among the various industry factors prevailing in the solar PV market.

Asia Pacific
Apart from China and India which are targeted as the upcoming market in the region, rest of
the countries in the region are in the different phase of growth with regards to the
development of the solar photovoltaic market. For instance Taiwan is one of the countries
which is in the forefront of the production of PV products and has increased the number of
installations whereas in Japan, the solar photovoltaic market is in the declining stage.
During the period from 2006-2010, the annual installations have increased at a CAGR of
57.3%.The installations over the years have increased from 333 MW in 2006 to 967 MW in
2009. The year 2010, was a phenomenal year for this industry with an increase of more than
100% compared to the previous year. The annual PV installations jumped from 967 MW in
2009 to 2,036 MW in 2010.
Japan
Japan’s solar PV segment is an export oriented market. The country exported 58.1% of its
solar cells and modules production to overseas countries such as Germany, Spain and others.
The proportion of its production shipped to overseas countries has reduced over time with
several other emerging Asian Pacific countries such as China and Taiwan providing stiff

34

competition to the country. About 41.9% of the production of solar cells and modules were
utilized domestically for residential, commercial and consumer purposes.
China
Rural electrification was the largest application of PV systems in China. Almost 50% of solar
PV installations are utilized for electrifying the rural areas. With more emphasis by
government on the BIPV segment, its share of 17.5% in 2010 is likely to increase in the
coming years. Communication and Industrial Applications, Small solar PV appliances and
ground based large scale PV power plants are other segments where PV installed capacity are
utilized.
Taiwan
Taiwan is only behind China in terms of production of silicon PV cells worldwide. The two
together held a market share of nearly 60%. The country has a stable supply chain network
with products ranging from various silicon products to solar modules. The country has
emerged as one of the manufacturing centre for PV products especially in Asia Pacific
region.
Europe
European countries accounted for nearly 74% of the total cumulative installed capacity in
2010 or 29,252 MW in volume terms. The top three countries i.e. Germany, Spain and Italy
operating in the region had a combined cumulative capacity of 24,471 MW in 2010. The
demand for PV installations increased in Germany and Italy while declined drastically in
Spain in 2009.
Germany
The power generated from solar photovoltaic technology has also registered a considerable
growth in the country. Although the power generation using photovoltaic technologies is still
expensive as compared to other sources, it is expected that the learning curve will become
more convex over a period of time with the innovation in technology and with the
achievement of economies of scale. The power generation has increased from 2,220 GWh in
2006 to 6,578 GWh in 2009. During the period from 2006-2009, the solar photovoltaic power
generation increased at a high CAGR of 43.6%.
Italy
Italy is the second largest country in EU with respect to the number of new installations in the
country. In 2010, 2,321 MW of new capacity was installed in the country leading to a
cumulative installed capacity of 3,494 MW. The solar PV installed capacity has grown with
the government support and stimulative economic environment in Italy. The feed-in-tariffs
were introduced in 2005 which lead to a minor increase in the new system capacity in 2006.

35

North America
The annual PV installations increased at a CAGR of 60.2% from 2006-2010. Rising annual
installations over the years are driven by rise in awareness regarding the harmful effects of
carbon emission gases and search for an alternative source of energy. It is anticipated that the
PV technology will be one of the many alternatives available for clean energy. The annual
PV installations registered a strong increase in 2010 with the number of PV installations
rising from 539 MW in 2009 to 982 MW in 2010. This boost was largely because of the
increase registered in the off grid segment. The segment registered a growth of 168%, rising
from 84 MW of installed capacity in 2009 to 226 MW of installed capacity in 2010.
The US
The PV installations in the country registered a diversified look with 16 states installing 10
MW of PV as compared to only 4 states in 2007. A total of 5 states in the US registered PV
installation of more than 50 MW in 2010. The year 2010, showcases a complete different
picture with states like New Jersey, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado and others increasing their
PV installations. The share of California has reduced to 30% of the total US PV market
which depicts lower dependency on a single state for PV growth.
