Basic Information

Relevance

PV is one of most promising RE technology

The PV markets in the world has experienced the fastest growth

Till 2013Total 136 GW newly-added 36.9 GW Significant additions from APEC economies

Source :IEA

Relevance

Reductions of PV pricesParticularly from 2008More than 50% reduction since 2006

Change of support policies in recent yearDecrease in financial support in PVRecently adopted FIT in Asia, ,e.g. China and JapanStopped or reduced FIT mainly in Europe

Problems exiting for PV projectsFinancing Electricity interconnectionCoordination of producer, consumer and the grid etc.lack of knowledge for consumersSystem and operation reliability, etc.

Relevance

Innovation emergingidea of “prosumers” (i.e. PV producers could be also consumers) , self-consumption policies new financing mechanisms for solarcommunity solar investments

PV application is changing from policy-driven to market-oriented.

The business models will play increasing role on PV market
