Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast to 2019
M2 - Fri May 09, 5:35AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/mchlq2/building) has announced the addition of the "Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019" report to their offering. BIPV is a photovoltaic technology that is integrated in the building structures primarily during construction. It is fairly less detrimental to the environment and generates electricity at lower cost than conventional power generating plants. BIPV integration curtails the overall construction cost by a substantial amount. Integration of BIPV products commonly includes rooftop, curtain wall and BIPV window. Zero energy building policy, strictly practiced in the U.S. and European countries, has been achieved effectively through the assistance of BIPV products. These BIPV have seen a great amount of growth in recent years in various construction activities. Due to their high efficiencies and lower costs as compared to other technologies, first generation technologies such as C-Si technology are experiencing great demand from construction industry. Silicon forms one of the primary raw materials utilized in manufacturing C-Si BIPV modules. Evolution of second and third generation BIPV technologies coupled with abundant availability of silicon in the nature has led to significant drop in the C-Si BIPV module prices. Lower raw material cost makes C-Si technology less expensive than others. Key Topics Covered: Chapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 Executive Summary Chapter 3 BIPV - Industry Analysis Chapter 4 BIPV Market By Product Type Chapter 5 Global BIPV Market: Technology Analysis Chapter 6 Global BIPV Market: End-user Analysis Chapter 7 BIPV Market: Regional Analysis Chapter 8 Company Profiles Companies Mentioned: - Ascent Solar Technologies Inc - CENTROSOLAR Group AG - Ecotemis - ertex solartechnik GmbH - First Solar Inc. - Heliatek GmbH - Onyx Solar Group LLC - Power Film, Inc. - Pythagoras Solar - Sapa Soar - Sharp Solar For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/mchlq2/building

Global Green Energy Market 2013 - 2019: Solar PV, Wind Energy, Hydroelectric Power, Bio-Fuels & Geothermal Energy
M2 - Thu May 08, 5:08AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/79nct9/green_energy) has announced the addition of the "Green Energy Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019" report to their offering. The total green energy market in terms of revenue was USD 470.10 billion in 2012. According to estimates, the market would grow at a CAGR of 8.3% over the period from 2013 to 2019 Green energy is the energy derived from clean sources producing minimal pollution and includes solar photovoltaic, hydropower, wind energy, bio-fuels and geothermal. Increased investments in technology research and development, supportive regulatory frameworks, increased awareness and energy security issues and environmental concerns among others are fuelling the growth in demand for clean and green energy. In 2012, North America was the leading market for wind, hydro and geothermal energies. As per estimates, green energy market in Asia Pacific would grow at a growth rate higher than the global average. Energy demand is rising rapidly in Asia Pacific region driven by increased spending power and technological improvements. Hydroelectric power was the dominant source of energy in 2012 due to a large pre-installed base capacity. Solar PV is expected to be the fastest growing renewable source of energy during 2013 to 2019. Solar PV market would cross wind energy by 2017, in terms of revenue. Demand for solar PV is led by its increased efficiency and declining costs. Inverters form approximately 8%-10% of the total cost for solar installation, which is a signi?cant portion. The global market for solar PV inverters declined in 2013 in terms of revenue despite rise in PV inverter shipments. However, for the year 2014 and beyond the solar PV inverter market would experience a steady growth in revenue as the average selling prices stabilize. In recent years, residential sector has been a fast emerging end-user in terms of green energy consumption and this trend is expected to continue over the coming years. There has been significant growth in residential photovoltaic installations led by increasingly attractive cost economics and rational net metering policies. Further, growth of the green energy market in the commercial sector is led by increased government regulations and compliance requirements. In 2012, the overall market for green energy was highly fragmented with several global and local players competing across different green energy market segments. The major players in green energy market included: First Solar Inc, ABB Ltd., Alterra Power Corporation, Kyocera Solar Inc, Nordex SE, Hanwha Q Cells GmbH, Calpine Corporation, Suzlon Energy Ltd., U.S. Geothermal Inc, Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd., Enercon GmbH, GE Energy, JA Solar Holdings Co. Ltd., Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd., Enphase Energy Inc and Archer Daniels Midland Company, among others. The global green energy market is segmented as below: Microserver Market Segmentation By Energy Type - Solar photovoltaic (PV) - - Solar PV inverters - -- Micro-inverters - -- String inverters - -- Central inverters - Wind energy - Hydroelectric power - Bio-fuels - Geothermal energy By End-user - Residential - Commercial - Industrial For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/79...een_energy
