Global Solar Photovoltaic Installed Capacity to Witness Stable Growth until 2020 Solar module installations witnessed immense growth during the 2006-2013 period, with a Year-on-Year (Y-o-Y) growth rate in cumulative capacity of more than 50% each year from 2008 to 2013. Annual installation increased from 1.4 Gigawatts (GW) in 2006 to an estimated 32.4 GW in 2013 with increasing economies of scale, emerging technologies, and policy-based governmental and institutional support for the industry. Annual installation in 2012 was marginally lower compared with the preceding year because the industry started to move away from the initial spur and also due to the reduction or elimination of support from governments in some key countries. In 2013, an increase in global annual installation was driven by China and Japan. Annual installation was 32.4 GW, which is around 114% of the annual installations in 2012. For the 2013-2025 period, annual installations are set to stabilize within the range of 32.4-39.2 GW. The EU's directive on renewable energy has set a target for each member state to increase its renewable energy share to 20% of gross final energy consumption by 2020. This can be achieved through a mixture of renewable energy s Europe, Middle East and Africa Solar Photovoltaic Market Outlook Sources. The country's own particular policy structure and growth measures for renewable energy sources will play an important role in renewable energy deelopment. Renewable support schemes such as Feed-in Tariffs (FiT), quota obligations, capital grants and subsidies have been instrumental in promoting the growth of the renewable energy industry in various European countries. Also, in certain countries, in order to promote key renewable technologies, governments provide sector-specific support schemes, such as premium tariffs and technology-specific funds, among other things. Germany and Italy Largest Consumers of Solar Photovoltaic Modules in 2013 In Europe, Germany was the largest consumer of solar Photovoltaic (PV) modules in 2013, with an annual installation of 3.5 GW. In spite of a FiT structure that is subjected to a digression step on a monthly basis, Germany's annual installation was the highest in Europe because the FiTs kept the business profitable. Italy however went from being the largest consumer of modules in 2011 to the second largest consumer in 2012 and 2013, with a sharp fall in annual installation. Even though its solar PV capacity increased to around 18 GW, its installations fell sharply due to FiT reductions, and are expected to fall further due to further FiT reductions.

Strong Local Policies Drive Development in the US and Canada The US and Canada are global leaders in terms of renewable-power generation. The growth momentum of their renewable industry has primarily been facilitated by support mechanisms provided by the federal and state governments. Although both countries have federal regulations in place supporting renewable industry, states with strong policy frameworks have been the major contributors to renewable installed capacity in both countries. The development patterns for the renewable industries have been largely dependent on the extent of the support mechanisms provided by the state governments. In the US, the growth of the renewable-energy industry has been led by the state-level Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), combined with other tax incentives and subsidies. California and Texas, which have been providing policy support to the renewable-energy industry for more than a decade, are the leaders in terms of renewable capacity. The Canadian government is supporting renewable energy with the ecoENERGY program. Ontario, with its comprehensive Feed-in Tariff (FiT) program, is the leading province in terms of renewable-power capacity. The Brazilian government conducts auctions to encourage the development of renewable projects. The auction approach is a significant tool in Brazil in terms of increasing the use of renewable power sources. The technology-specific approach permits organizations to contract for auctions. Brazil's energy ministry, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, approved 122 Megawatts (MW) of solar photovoltaic capacity in the first solar-only auction held in the country in 2013, and solar projects will receive $98 per Megawatt hour (MWh) for power generation. In 2012, the Mexican government introduced the National Energy Strategy, which established a roadmap for energy policies to be implemented over the coming 15 years and sets a specific goal for the generation of electricity from non-fossil sources of 35% in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during the period. The target under this strategy also limits the share to be accounted for by generation from fossil fuel technologies to 60% in 2035 and 50% in 2050. This is strongly expected to encourage the usage of renewable sources for power generation.

Global Distributed Energy Generation Technologies Market & Forecast Report, 2016
M2 - Wed Jan 08, 10:19AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5m766j/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Distributed Energy Generation Technologies Market & Forecast Report, 2016" report to their offering. One of the major drivers in this market is the increasing occurrence of power blackouts. The increase in power blackouts has affected plenty of people in various states such as Arizona, Baja California, and Sonora. As power blackouts can last for long time periods without being rectified, various power utilities and end-users have started adopting distributed energy generation techniques, an approach which is also expected to increase the reliability of the power grid. The growing demand for power and need to reduce the usage of fossil fuels, which currently generate 80 percent of global power, will lead to a crisis in the Power industry. It is not possible to meet the power demand with the existing power infrastructure. The long time taken for the construction of the fossil fuel power generation plants has led to dependency on distributed energy resources, which can be easily constructed within a short period of time. The main drawback of the centralized power plant is the huge loss of electricity that takes place during its transmission through cables, an issue that does not exist in distributed energy generation becauses the point of generation and consumption is the same. This advantage of distributed energy generation is leading to an increase in the adoption of distributed power generation and is enhancing the growth of the Global Distributed Energy Generation Technologies market. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the high implementation cost. As microgrid users have to make a substantial investment to install distributed energy generation, various vendors and end-users are reluctant to adopt this technology. The high cost is due to the industry being in the growth phase and it is therefore still at the stage of being standardized. This reluctance to adopt will make it difficult for the market to grow at a fast pace during the forecast period. The key vendors dominating this market space are: - Ballard Power Systems Inc. - First Solar Inc. - FuelCell Energy Inc. - General Electric Energy LLC - Ingersoll-Rand plc - JA Solar Holdings Co.

The development patterns for the renewable industries have been largely dependent on the extent of the support mechanisms provided by the state governments. In the US, the growth of the renewable-energy industry has been led by the state-level Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), combined with other tax incentives and subsidies. California and Texas, which have been providing policy support to the renewable-energy industry for more than a decade, are the leaders in terms of renewable capacity. The Canadian government is supporting renewable energy with the ecoENERGY program. Ontario, with its comprehensive Feed-in Tariff (FiT) program, is the leading province in terms of renewable-power capacity. The Brazilian government conducts auctions to encourage the development of renewable projects. The auction approach is a significant tool in Brazil in terms of increasing the use of renewable power sources. The technology-specific approach permits organizations to contract for auctions. Brazil's energy ministry, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, approved 122 Megawatts (MW) of solar photovoltaic capacity in the first solar-only auction held in the country in 2013, and solar projects will receive $98 per Megawatt hour (MWh) for power generation. In 2012, the Mexican government introduced the National Energy Strategy, which established a roadmap for energy policies to be implemented over the coming 15 years and sets a specific goal for the generation of electricity from non-fossil sources of 35% in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during the period. The target under this strategy also limits the share to be accounted for by generation from fossil fuel technologies to 60% in 2035 and 50% in 2050. This is strongly expected to encourage the usage of renewable sources for power generation.

Global Distributed Energy Generation Technologies Market & Forecast Report, 2016
M2 - Wed Jan 08, 10:19AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5m766j/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Distributed Energy Generation Technologies Market & Forecast Report, 2016" report to their offering. One of the major drivers in this market is the increasing occurrence of power blackouts. The increase in power blackouts has affected plenty of people in various states such as Arizona, Baja California, and Sonora. As power blackouts can last for long time periods without being rectified, various power utilities and end-users have started adopting distributed energy generation techniques, an approach which is also expected to increase the reliability of the power grid. The growing demand for power and need to reduce the usage of fossil fuels, which currently generate 80 percent of global power, will lead to a crisis in the Power industry. It is not possible to meet the power demand with the existing power infrastructure. The long time taken for the construction of the fossil fuel power generation plants has led to dependency on distributed energy resources, which can be easily constructed within a short period of time. The main drawback of the centralized power plant is the huge loss of electricity that takes place during its transmission through cables, an issue that does not exist in distributed energy generation becauses the point of generation and consumption is the same. This advantage of distributed energy generation is leading to an increase in the adoption of distributed power generation and is enhancing the growth of the Global Distributed Energy Generation Technologies market. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the high implementation cost. As microgrid users have to make a substantial investment to install distributed energy generation, various vendors and end-users are reluctant to adopt this technology. The high cost is due to the industry being in the growth phase and it is therefore still at the stage of being standardized. This reluctance to adopt will make it difficult for the market to grow at a fast pace during the forecast period. The key vendors dominating this market space are: - Ballard Power Systems Inc. - First Solar Inc. - FuelCell Energy Inc. - General Electric Energy LLC - Ingersoll-Rand plc - JA Solar Holdings Co. Ltd. - Sharp Corp. - Siemens AG - Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. - UTC Power LLC - Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02. Scope of the Report 03.
