A new market research report on thin-film photovoltaics materials has been released by Nanomarkets. The report, which will be available for public on November 29, covers the market for the year 2011 and beyond.
The market report provides the ongoing happenings in the thin-film photovoltaics (TFPV) materials market. According to First Solar, the TFPV technology is more suitable for building integrated photovoltaics application than the CdTe technology, because of its flexible nature. Moreover, as the silicon shortage has vanished, there is no more argument over using the TFPV technology compared to the traditional crystalline silicon technology.
The report states that the financial crisis across the world has weakened the interest in consumers, governments, and investors for adopting clean technology. The report provides a clear analysis on the area where the money will be used for the TFPV materials in the coming eight years.
The research report points out the material strategies of the main TFPV players, and the market strategies of the main material suppliers. Market forecast of revenues and volumes are provided in the report for the next eight years. The forecasts are given for three TFPV materials, namely, thin-film silicon, CIGS, and CdTe.
