M2 - Mon Mar 04, 10:02AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/sn57b7/semiconductors_in) has announced the addition of the "Semiconductors in the Solar Industry: Global Market Analysis" report to their offering. Semiconductors are an essential part of the solar photovoltaic industry. Many of the components of PV systems require semiconductors. The demand for semiconductors in the solar photovoltaic industry has demonstrated an aggregated global growth rate of more than 40% per annum over the last 10 years. It is anticipated to rise steadily in the coming five years ahead as well. Few industries can boast equivalent numbers, but solar PV has two big challenges ahead. Production costs need to go down in order for it to become more economically sustainable, while production capacity must continue to grow in order for PV to become a significant player in the global energy market. In order to make the PV industry viable in the long run, the price of electricity per energy unit generated by a photovoltaic sys
