Solar Energy Market Segments

The solar industry is all about one thing: converting energy generated by the sun to a form of energy people would actually pay for. The most targeted form of energy is obviously electricity, although producing thermal energy is very useful for several application (did you shower today?). We will divide the entire solar energy market [...]

The Solar Industry – Why You Should Care

The global energy market is huge. It’s a trillion dollars market, some would say. And by now, late into the first decade of  the 3rd millennium, it’s clear that solar energy is the only viable long term solution to earth’s ever increasing energy needs. Not only is solar  a clean energy source, it’s supply is [...]

First Solar,Suntech And The Chinese Solar Market

Posted by on November 13th, 2009

In this edition of  ‘Analysts’, we get to hear from Ishita Manjrekar, working, solar industry analyst for Primary Global Research. She’s on Bloomberg, talking about about First Solar (FSLR), Suntech and the Chinese solar market.

The solar industry is all about one thing: converting energy generated by the sun to a form of energy people would actually pay for. The most targeted form of energy is obviously electricity, although producing thermal energy is very useful for several application (did you shower today?). We will divide the entire solar energy market to the 3 most widely used technologies: P.V. solar panels, concentrating thermo-solar and solar water heating.

solarpanelssm The global energy market is huge. It’s a trillion dollars market, some would say. And by now, late into the first decade of  the 3rd millennium, it’s clear that solar energy is the only viable long term solution to earth’s ever increasing energy needs. Not only is solar  a clean energy source, it’s supply is endless.

Realizing the huge potential of solar, billions of dollars go each year into the industry – funding research, building large scale projects and subsidizing end consumers.
