NanoMarkets Predicts Thin-Film Solar Cell Industry Will Produce More than 26 Gigawatts by 2015

Glen Allen, Virginia
According to NanoMarkets, a leading industry analyst firm based here, the thin-film photovoltaics (TFPV) market will produce the equivalent of 26 gigawatts (GW) by 2015 and will generate well over $20 billion in revenues in that same time frame. This extraordinary growth rate is due in part to the rapid deployment of photovoltaics of all kinds, but also to the low cost, flexibility and manufacturing advantages associated with TFPV compared with the now dominant crystalline silicon PV. By 2015, NanoMarkets expects that TFPV will account for more than half of the world's production of PV. NanoMarkets findings are from a soon to be released report, "Thin Film Photovoltaics Markets: 2008 and Beyond" that will be available the week of July 21st. Additional details about the report are available at NanoMarkets :: Market and technology research services for the thin film, organic and printable electronics industries. A companion report that addresses manufacturing issues will follow in August of 2008.

Indeed I hope so too, though this report is from NanoMarkets. Not sure if they are part of NanoSolar.
