Solar energy: Shining brighter across the globe

LONDON/NEW DELHI (Commodity Online): The world is witnessing a massive move towards clean energy with rapid growth seen in last few years in solar photovoltaic (PV)installations. Solar PV installations are expected to rise 26.3% from 19 gigawatts (GW) in 2010 to 24 GW in 2011, accordign to a new report from IMS Research. The research also revealed that Italy will displace Germany as the world's largest market.

Italy is expected to account for 28% of global PV installations in 2011, Germany 25%, Rest of the World 12%, USA 10%, China 8%, Japan 5%, France 4%, Australia, UK, Canada and India 2% each. 

The new IMS report also highlights that the true size of the market in 2011 is contentious, depending on what is considered the size of the Italian market in 2010. Whilst IMS Research measures PV demand when a system is installed, other methods often consider connections, registrations or approvals leading to different market sizes. “There is much confusion over the size of the Italian market in 2010 and 2011 due to various data points for installations under the various ‘Conto Energias’. IMS Research has analysed module and inverter shipments to the country and cross-checked inventory levels at integrators and distributors to conclude that 4.5 GW of new capacity was installed in 2010 – despite a greatly higher number claiming  the ‘Secondo Conto Energia’ which expired at the end of the year”, commented Ash Sharma, Senior Research Director for Photovoltaics.

Despite a freeze and then cuts to its incentives earlier this year, Italy is forecast to become the world’s largest market in 2011 for the first time; and install 6.8 GW of new capacity. Yet despite the strong performance of the Italian market, Europe is set for another underwhelming performance this year; with installations growing by just 3% because of falls in Germany and the Czech Republic and slow-downs elsewhere. “The upswing in Italian installations won’t be sufficient to counter falls from Germany and the Czech Republic and Europe’s share of global installations will sharply fall from 82% in 2010 to 68% in 2011”, noted Sharma.

Growth from Americas & Asia
IMS Research found that though Europe is stagnating, the American and Asian markets are performing well; these two regions will generate 85% of the global growth in installations in 2011. Furthermore, the research found that this trend is forecast to continue into 2012, when Europe’s share of new installations will fall to 50%. “The PV market continues to diversify in 2011; this will create short-term pain for suppliers that  can no longer solely rely on one market to fuel their growth, but creates long-term stability for the industry by helping to balance the effects of a single country’s incentive policy and reduce large swings in supply and demand. This diversification is clearly continuing to happen and we have identified 20 markets that will install more than 100 MW in 2011, up from just 14 last year”, commented Sharma.

India solar

Meanwhile, India with a 2% share of solar PV installations has embarked on a major initiative,Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission in January 2010, that aims to set up 20,000 MW grid power by 2022 in addition to 2000 MW of off-grid solar power. Dr Farooq Abdullah, India Minister for New and Renewable Energy recently told Parliament that he believes India has good potential for solar power as it receives solar energy equivalent to over 5,000 trillion kWh per year, which is far more than the total energy consumption of the country. He said the daily average solar energy incident varies from 4 - 7 kWh per square meter of the surface area depending upon the location and time of the year. The Minister added that the solar radiation is available at most locations in the country for about 300 days in a year.

Meanwhile, UK Minister of State for Climate Change and Energy Greg Barker said on Wednesday that UK was committed to investing in green energy despite the global financial crisis and pledged to support India financially to tap solar power.Speaking at the Suzlon headquarters at Hadapsar here, Barker said he was encouraged by India’s thrust on solar power generation. “Through the capital markets climate initiative, we are looking at ways to ensure that the decision to go green is the smarter financial choice. We are starting this work in India. Members of my initiative from major banks, institutions and investors in the city of London, have over the past few months been talking with people here about the barriers of scaling up investments in the renewables sector and are begining to look at solutions that cross the public-private boundaries.”

A study published by KPMG, a global consulting company has forecast that solar power can meet 5-7% of India’s total power requirements by 2021-22.

If only we could get the Schools in all Nations to Teach more on Solar Energy. When this Old World starts getting you down. From Pollution the cost of OIL, Heating Fuel,The Fuel you put in your Vehicles, You Electric Bills from cooling air conditioners and lights not to speak of the Evil. The TAX that all Governments Federal, State, County and City put on everything they can thing of. They are supposed to serve us. Not put a burden on its people. That they are elected to serve all the people you, not their own Pocket Books. The Wicked keep putting higher taxes on everything. Making it a Heavy Burden on many that are already struggling just to put food on the table. Too many Americans have lost their home to the tax collector or to foreclosures from the unjust bankers greed. More are out of work and lost their homes then in the GREAT DEPRESSION,in the last ten years. All Americans and many Nations need good jobs and more of them. Not more TAXES. There is a Industry that will employ workers and is growing by more then 50% every year. There is a clear way for all up on the roof the Sun Light is free fuel from GOD. Some wicked in Government have been backing Coal, Oil, Gas and the Nuclear industries for too many years. These kickbacks to them were called Subsidizing Industry Technology. Most all Wise Men and smart Economist and Environmentalists call this padding their pockets and subsidizing back to the Stone Age. This might even been funny in the 1960R42;s. If it were a Fred Flintstones and Barny Rubble Movie. About How to aggressively systematically work with the rich to Pollute Ground Water quality to the point it is unsafe to drink or use. So to they make a law you can only buy water from their pipe line. And to make the air we breath full of Toxic Gases, Sulfur Dioxide and more Radioactive and Acid Rain. Injuring all living things on Earth. With Fred Flintstones to the Rescue. To help create a Healthier Environment. For all Future Generations. By spotlighting Renewable Energy and Free Energy like Wind and Solar. On his and his neighbor Barny Rubble’s roof. Even though the greedy wicked would do everything to stop or slow them down. Just imagine a dream that a 100 years ago one of the smartest man to ever live had. A dream after working with Sun Light. That all on Earth would use Free Energy Solar Energy. That Dream also shared by a man that dreamed this over 2,250 years ago. Both These men showed the world in their days. That this dream of Free Energy Solar Energy World wide was very possible. Both of these two wise men had first hand worked and researched their experiments for not just days, weeks put for many years. One of these men used chalk on Black Board the others board was a black stone table or floor covered with white sand and used a stick. One of these two Brilliant men had Kings from all most every Kingdom on Earth come to him for advice. The other went to almost every nation on Earth. Freely on his own dime Teaching All that had ears to hear. He would win the Nobel Prize for doing so. For his work on Solar Energy. Only after years of doing research and when most Scientist on Earth would not take the nomination for the Nobel Prize in 1921 and knew it clearly belonged to this Brilliant Scientist, this Brilliant scientist was then awarded it in 1922 for the 1921 year. Now if this was just a Pretend TV Show or a Movie from a dream. This would be a great Sci Fi Story Line. In the 1960R42;s or even better to day. Sci Fi story Movie or dream No. All that i Have told you did actually really happen. Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize for what? When Government leaders asked him to go on stage. To address the Scientific Community and the World. About what he was given the Nobel Prize for. When Albert Einstein Had done so. He addressed them with his other accomplishments. For years most Governments did not have a ear for Einstein’s Dream. Archimedes around 250 B.C. was know most of the World over as a great Mathematician. One of the first Scientist and Inventor of many things. Even the first Laser Ray from the Sun’s Energy. Science Fiction is what you would have though you were seeing if you could go back in time, it was real.To day we call it The LASER, Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission. Back then it was just called Amplification of the SUN, Archimedes Death Ray. Thousand of years later it would be a Laser. That Albert Einstein help make possible. That would unlock one of the first books on Earth. The METHOD written by Archimedes. Then over more then 250 years later. When well Faded was cut from a scroll and put into a book form, to be easier to hide from the Romans by St. Paul. This book sold for over 2 million dollars. In New york at Christie’s Auction House. These two are at the top of the list of the World’s Greatest Scientists, Viewed by Scientist around the World. Sad that for the last 25 years or so of every teacher asked no matter what Grade k through 16. 80% of them did not know Archimedes. Even sadder 90% of them could not tell you what one of the most Brilliant Scientist to ever live on Earth. Won the Nobel Prize for. It was for the work Albert Einstein did to show the World it could get Free Energy, Electric from the SUN. PHOTOVOLTAICS You ask this question to any Military general 95% of them will get it right. Even more surprising 99% of them will know more about Archimedes then most Teachers on Earth. Generals know Energy is the key to Winning. At almost one thousand to one Archimedes always won against what all knew was impossible odds. Archimedes home town city of Syracuse was victorious against the greatest Kingdoms Armies on earth many times. Syracuse once was one of the most powerful cities in the World. I can only ask you to please look into Solar Energy, Solar Power, Solar Panels and Solar array on the internet under Images. To see and explore for your self then you be the JURY. More then 10 years ago the Internet became most of the World’s Universities Learning Platform. A Modern Day Archimedes Resource Center. The Solar Energy Industry in the year 2010 has leaped ahead farther and faster then any other industry on Earth. The Solar Industry in the United States of America alone, has grown by more then 50% in 2010 and it looks like that number will go up even higher this year 2011. The strong benefits of Solar Energy is Clear Clean Air viewed in major cities as improving air quality. Clean Cities. By all that use there brain for good . View it as protecting the environment and Freedom from OIL. While many Governments has eased the Taxes on Renewable Energy . Some cities in the states that these Legislators come from have worked against these tax credits. By doing so they are showing their true objectives. That they have stock in some power plants and do not want to lose all that Money they have been taking out of your pocket books for too many years. By taxing you on your Energy Bills. They want to Control Power and Tax Everything they can. Not let People be free to get their own power from the top of their own roofs. By adding their own taxes to them. These wicked leaders think that this will take away the incentives to harvest the Free Energy from the Sun. The Public ability and awareness for all on Earth to use the Natural Solar Energy, is Contributing to Production of Solar Energy Products. Making the Solar Energy Industry the fastest growing on Earth. A Wealth of Free Energy From The SUN. The more the wicked try to slow the Solar Energy Industry down, it only Enhances involvement and the efforts of the Good at Heart. GOD Bless you for reading this. The Lord’s little Helper Paul Felix Schott PS through out History Many have tried to wipe the good from our history books. Read the Bible Jesus will Bless you more then i can. SolarWorld has been presenting a Einstein Award to personalities who have advanced the use of solar energy – and helped our Planet Earth. We all need to tell all our Teachers and Leaders to use our Nation’s Energy more wisely and efficient. Start to Teach all our Young about Renewable Energy Solar, Wind, and so on. Not to for get Flintstones, Fred well there are many the one that is in front of all others Started back in the 1970R42;s and started a small catalog that has turned into a Wealth of knowledge into Renewable Energy a book called REAL GOODS Solar Living Source Book. By Mr. John Schaeffer.
