Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics 2013-2017
The "Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics 2013-2017" includes PV market figures for 2012 and makes forecasts for the next five years for global and European markets. The world added more than 31 GW of new solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in 2012 – roughly the same amount as in the record-setting year of 2011. This significant market growth came even during a period of economic crisis and industry consolidation.
