Trends Solar PV

Market conditions for PV differ from country to country. This is due to:

• different energy policies and public support programs for renewable energies
• the varying grade of liberalisation of domestic electricity markets and
• the irradiation of the sun in the region

 Several markets could and will face adjustments to incentive regimes as governments attempt to align public interests with the current module prices.

The matrix on the right shows the future market development for solar based on retail pricing in kWh versus solar costs per kWh and the renewable subsidy in payback-time.
