The global photovoltaic market has grown significantly over the last five years despite the global downturn and numerous adjustments to countries’ photovoltaic feed-in tariffs and implementations of PV annual caps. Key countries like Spain have dropped down the market rankings while others such as Italy have risen. This study aims to provide a clearer understanding of the current and likely changes in the global photovoltaic market and focuses on the key PV cell and module technologies. It provides an overview of the photovoltaic market for 2009-2010 and insight and analysis on global photovoltaic energy market demand taking into account a looming slowdown in the global economy. Additionally, the study presents detailed analysis on photovoltaic companies and their manufacturing capacities. The study presents forecasts for the photovoltaic cell and module technologies by shipments and pricing. Furthermore, six year projections are provided for photovoltaic installations for 23 countries/regions with detailed breakdowns of individual countries feed-in tariffs and projected adjustments.
