Global Thin Film Market 2012-2016: The Government of Canada Invests US$1.7 Million in Generating Emission-Free Electricity in Many Remote Locations
M2 - Wed Jul 24, 11:35AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vvr9tt/global_thin_film) has announced the addition of the "Global Thin Film Market 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Thin Film market to grow at a CAGR of 33.80 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing use of solar energy. The Global Thin Film market has also been witnessing various governments increasing investing in the Solar industry. However, the shortage of raw material used for the production of thin films could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The increased investment by various governments in the Solar industry is a major trend in the Global Thin Film market. Various national authorities across the globe are encouraging companies to manufacture thin films because thin films use fewer materials in the process of manufacturing and ultimately cost less. Also, these thin films can be used to generate energy on a larger scale. In the US, Canada, and Japan, governments have been offering grants to produce solar cells and modules using thin films. The Government of Canada, for instance, has invested US$1.7 million in generating emission-free electricity in many remote locations in Canada through solar cells. Similarly, the European Commission has offered Oerlikon Solar, a thin films manufacturer, US$13.2 million to produce thin films under the Framework Programme for Research of the European Union. California-based SoloPower Inc. has been offered support from the Department of Energy to expand its thin film production. According to the report, one of the major reasons for this increase in solar energy consumption is the depletion of fossil fuels for power generation. Additionally, the harm caused by GHGs released due to the increase in usage of fossil fuels is also increasing the usage of renewable and less harmful energy sources such as solar energy. As a result, the increase in the usage of solar power will in turn increase the growth of the Global Thin Film market in the future.

M2 - Wed Jul 24, 11:35AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vvr9tt/global_thin_film) has announced the addition of the "Global Thin Film Market 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Thin Film market to grow at a CAGR of 33.80 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing use of solar energy. The Global Thin Film market has also been witnessing various governments increasing investing in the Solar industry. However, the shortage of raw material used for the production of thin films could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The increased investment by various governments in the Solar industry is a major trend in the Global Thin Film market. Various national authorities across the globe are encouraging companies to manufacture thin films because thin films use fewer materials in the process of manufacturing and ultimately cost less. Also, these thin films can be used to generate energy on a larger scale. In the US, Canada, and Japan, governments have been offering grants to produce solar cells and modules using thin films. The Government of Canada, for instance, has invested US$1.7 million in generating emission-free electricity in many remote locations in Canada through solar cells. Similarly, the European Commission has offered Oerlikon Solar, a thin films manufacturer, US$13.2 million to produce thin films under the Framework Programme for Research of the European Union. California-based SoloPower Inc. has been offered support from the Department of Energy to expand its thin film production. According to the report, one of the major reasons for this increase in solar energy consumption is the depletion of fossil fuels for power generation. Additionally, the harm caused by GHGs released due to the increase in usage of fossil fuels is also increasing the usage of renewable and less harmful energy sources such as solar energy. As a result, the increase in the usage of solar power will in turn increase the growth of the Global Thin Film market in the future.
