PV Supply and Demand: Striving Towards Global Balance

Dan Martin
Executive VP, Photovoltaics

The global photovoltaic solar landscape is comprised of many countries making significant contributions towards reducing the world's reliance on fossil fuels. Many of these countries are contributing towards the supply side of PV power generation—manufacturing cells, modules, equipment and materials—and a few countries are making a major contributions to the demand-side, deploying PV systems to generate clean, renewable energy in both on-grid and off-grid applications. Effective public policy must address both supply and demand to ensure a healthy, prosperous industry.

In addition to tackling supply side issues involving equipment, materials and feedstock, the PV Group has also addressed the demand side with several recent public policy efforts in China, India, Taiwan, and the U.S. to expand the market for solar power. More...
