Middle East & Africa Solar Tracker Market Forecasts and Opportunities, 2019
M2 - Mon Jul 21, 3:40AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wlmt3v/middle_east_and) has announced the addition of the "Middle East & Africa Solar Tracker Market - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2019" report to their offering. Tracking technology allows solar panels to track the movement of sun and enhance its output efficiency by 20% to 40% as compared to a fixed solar PV array. Flat-panel photovoltaic (PV), Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) and Concentrated Solar Thermal (CSP) are some of the key technologies in the solar tracker market. Single axis and dual axis are two types of trackers installed worldwide. Single axis trackers have only one axis for rotation that could be horizontal, vertical, tilted or polar aligned moving from east to west over the course of a day. Dual axis trackers rotate in two axes, both east to west and vertically trapping maximum solar radiations. Single axis trackers are primarily used in solar PV systems due to their lower cost compared to dual axis trackers and high electricity output against fixed systems. Europe has high DNI (Direct normal irradiance 5.5kWh/m2) due to which solar trackers are one of the preferred renewable technologies used for energy generation. Dual axis solar trackers applications are expected to increase in CSP and CPV plants. Single axis is preferred in utility scale projects due to low installation cost and high efficiency. Single axis tracker systems accounted for more than 85% market share in 2010, compared to dual axis solar trackers. Reduction of few FIT rates and incentive schemes hindered the non-utility market in North America. This was compensated with a provision of government stimulus for the development of large solar tracker installations in the U.S. and Canada. The shifting focus towards utility scale projects is likely to fuel the market. Increased and upcoming CSP installations wherein dual axis trackers are widely preferred are expected to bolster the dual axis trackers market over the forecast period. The solar tracker market is fragmented in nature however; a few companies have sustained their brand equity over the past couple of years by their global presence. Haosolar was the largest manufacturer of solar tracker in 2010 and accounted for over 23% of the market share by annual installed capacity. Abengoa Solar and SunPower were the next largest companies followed by others including Mecasolar, Energia Ercam, First Solar (Ray tracker) among others. Qbotix is gaining popularity with their invention of robotic devices that assist in the maintenance of the solar trackers during operation.

Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) Market 2013-2019: C-Si, Thin film, DSC & OPV for Rooftop, Curtain wall & BIPV Windows
M2 - Fri Jul 11, 8:19AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kx578k/building) has announced the addition of the "Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) Market 2013-2019: C-Si, Thin film, DSC & OPV for Rooftop, Curtain wall & BIPV Windows" report to their offering. Building Integrated Solar photovoltaic (BIPV) systems utilize building integrated solar panels to generate electricity, by transforming solar radiations into electrical energy. The energy generated has wide applications in several sectors including residential, commercial and industrial sectors. The major advantage of the BIPV is decentralization from grid power. The BIPV market report provides an in-depth analysis of the global BIPV industry. The report segments the market on the basis of product type, technology, end-user and region and also provides forecasts and estimates for each segment. The report also analyses demand and supply characteristics of the market by providing a detailed forecast and analysis of volume in terms of annual installations and revenue for the period 2013 to 2019. Curtain wall systems are capturing the market for BIPV due to their low maintenance and enhanced barrier and transparent properties as compare to glass. Rooftop BIPV is having large market share due to implementation of first generation technology and the trend is expected to be the same over entire forecast period. Curtain wall BIPV products are expected to grow at healthy growth rates. BIPV windows are niche product segment at present. However, this segment is likely to become attractive market segment due to growing applications in residential as well as commercial sector. The various technologies utilized BIPV are C-Si, thin film and other (OPV & DSC). The thin film technology is grabbing the attention of market players owing to its flexible design and ease of integration in curtain wall BIPV and fabrics. This widens up the applications for thin film technology and this technology segment is expected to grow at higher growth rates over the entire forecast period. Due to its low prices and higher efficiencies at the present, C-Si technology became the major technology segment in 2012. However, C-Si technology is oldest one and many developments to enhance efficiency have taken place. Such factors are expected to drive the market for C-Si technology. Other technologies such as OPV and DSC are third generation technologies and are still under the development phase. The development of these technologies is likely to produce high efficiency panels and expected to become attractive market.
