Lettre Solaire - Cythélia. Dans ce monde où les énergies renouvelables sont devenues un moteur de la croissance, et où le solaire photovoltaïque va jouer un rôle surprenant au cours des 10 prochaines années. Dans ce monde sans frontière où l’innovation s’accélère et où de nouvelles initiatives foisonnent de tous les points du globe, même les acteurs les plus chevronnés ont de plus en plus de mal à suivre dans leur domaine. Vous êtes sans doute déjà bien informés, mais vous aimeriez parfois prendre la distance nécessaire par rapport aux annonces fracassantes, de relativiser les « business plans » ambitieux, souvent de connaître le dessous des cartes, et de prévoir les tendances pour l’avenir...

Répondant à la demande de ses clients, CYTHELIA édite, depuis octobre 2000, une publication mensuelle et confidentielle en français, intitulée : Ainsi chaque mois, pour les cinq continents, vous trouverez des informations concernant : - Téléchargez un exemplaire - Printed electronics now_whitepaper.

PV Market in Japan 2013 (annual report) This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the PV market in Japan, one of the key PV markets in the world with outstanding opportunities for PV players thanks to the generous government incentives and the nation’s high motivation for renewable energy after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 and the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Details of Japan’s Feed-in Tariff (FiT) program, including statistics of approved & installed projects under FIT, tell us drastic changes in the Japanese PV market.

Database of MW-Scale PV Projects in Japan 2013 (annual report) Following the enactment of the Renewable Energy Law in August 2011, Japan’s Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program was enforced in July 2012. Energie. Arnaud Gossement. ETFs | Guggenheim Investments. The Index methodology is published at www.macsolarindex.com. The Index is designed to track companies within the following business segments of the solar power industry: solar power equipment producers; suppliers of materials or services to solar equipment producers; companies that derive a significant portion of their business, measured by the methodology set forth below, from solar power system installation, integration or finance; and companies that specialize in selling electricity derived from solar power.

As defined by the Index Provider, solar power includes two main categories: Solar photovoltaic power, which involves the conversion of sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic process; and Thermal solar power, which involves using energy from the sun to heat fluids for purposes of water or space heating or to produce electricity. The Index is constructed as follows: Index constituents are selected using the methodology described above. Investment Risk. MAC Solar Energy Index. PV Parity: Home.

Report author Shyam Mehta talks about solar module winners, losers, who gets acquired, and what the market looks like in 2014 in this podcast. This is the first in a series of articles from GTM Research's just-published report assessing the global module supplier landscape, Global PV Module Manufacturing 2013: Competitive Positioning, Consolidation and the China Factor. For more information on the report, click here. After several years of sustained profits and strong (if not always stable) growth, the PV manufacturing sector has found itself in the midst of a protracted downturn. A combination of overly aggressive capacity build-up in 2010 and 2011, along with severely curtailed subsidies in major feed-in tariff markets resulted in a massive supply-demand imbalance that manifested itself in early 2011, and is not expected to abate until at least 2014. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Once again, LDK Solar could serve as a bellwether for future cases. 7. 8. The Solar Industry’s Living Dead: 180 Module Manufacturers to Succumb to Consolidation by 2015. With GTM Research estimating global PV supply to be in excess of demand by an average of 35 gigawatts per year over the next three years, 180 existing module manufacturers will either expire or acquiesce to acquisition by 2015. The largest number (88) of casualties will exit high-cost manufacturing markets in the U.S., Europe, and Canada. Today GTM Research publishes Global PV Module Manufacturing 2013: Competitive Positioning, Consolidation and the China Factor, a report analyzing more than 300 module manufacturers, their global facilities, business models, financial health and chance of acquisition or expiry. The report also examines the market conditions and competitive metrics that will affect the trajectory of these firms over the next three years, including global demand, manufacturing costs, the influence of Chinese lenders, and the innovative upstream and downstream strategies that will buoy business lines.

Thin Film Intelligence Brief 1 – 14 August 2012 | PV Insider. MiaSolé restructuring calls for strategic partner Companies mentioned: MiaSolé, Soltecture, Ascent Solar Technologies, TFG Radiant Investment Group, Norsk Hydro Produksjon AS, Schüco, Dow, Imagine Homes, First Solar Thin Film Intelligence Brief 1 – 14 August 2012 MiaSolé on strategic partner lookout Silicon Valley startup MiaSolé, that had raised over $500m from venture capital investors in a C funding round for its next-generation thin film solar technology, has laid off 200 employees in a "significant restructuring” reorganizing manufacturing and operations, in hopes of finding a “strategic partnership.” MiaSolé has the highest mass-produced module efficiency of any thin-film, which NREL recently verified at 15.5 percent efficiency, and its costs are below 80 cents a watt.

Despite its efficiency records, the firm has been hit by the same crash in PV prices that felled similarly innovative Solyndra and nearly every other thin film solar company. Ascent re-enters Asian BIPV sector.
