The photovoltaic (PV) industry is relatively young, and strongly influenced by mergers, acquisitions, and changes in utility regulations. Current research is pushing to increase efficiency and make PV solar electric cost-competitive with nonrenewable energy sources. This 190-page report offers an up-to-date analysis of emerging technologies, strategies, and markets that are shaping the nascent PV industry, and bringing it closer to its goal of harnessing the abundance of free solar energy to power the 21st century.
