Solar PV surge at the end of 2011
RENEWABLE ENERGY FOCUS - The last quarter of 2011 saw a 23% rise in the European solar photovoltaic (PV) market, creating short-term optimism in the industry, according to NPD Solarbuzz.
The surge was amplified by the slowdown in solar PV module price decline over the past month. But the flip-side of the success is that it could accelerate the tightening of solar PV incentive policies that is gripping Europe, most notably in the key German market and most recently in Spain with announcement of a moratorium on new renewable energy plants.
