Mono-Multi debate dominates PV tech trends
PV equipment: With solar PV equipment suppliers pushing for increased adoption of next generation high-efficiency concepts, the fundamental issue remains end market adoption of mono or multi PV panels and the requirement of upstream PV manufacturers to move away from proven c-Si multi manufacturing processes says Finlay Colville, Vice President of NPD Solarbuzz.
During 2013, the solar PV industry is forecast to produce 40.3 GW of solar cells (including c-Si cells and thin film panels). This equates to 38.4 GW of modules, with end market demand expected to close somewhere in the 35 – 36 GW range. Of this 40.3 GW, 37 GW is from c-Si cells and …
