Research highlights...
The CPV Industry will Grow by up to 7GW
by 2020
This report gives you unique insight into three realistic scenarios
- built specifically for this report – showing that by 2020 CPV
installations could reach between 5.4 GW in the conservative
scenario, 7 GW in the optimistic scenario and 6.1 GW by 2020
in a neutral scenario. The report will show you how, where and
when these scenarios could be achieved.
Initial Industry Growth Driven by
Government Subsidies All the information you need to understand
the CPV industry in one place.
The report shows that during the first growth phase (2009 –
2014) CPV installations will grow at a CAGR of 45% helped by
generous government incentives. Thereafter, incentives are
expected to be more restrictive but technological advances and
increased cost competitiveness will allow CPV to grow at a CAGR
of 16% per year until 2020. You will receive full details about
the government incentives in the main markets, how they will
impact your business and how to best prepare yourself.

CPV Growth Potential in the Commercial
Rooftop Market
Most CPV companies have been targeting the utility scale
segment with CPV systems of large size and power but it’s not
the only way to make money. The commercial rooftop market
offers CPV companies, particularly those in Low and Medium
concentration, the opportunity to penetrate a new profitable
segment. However, reducing tracking size and minimising
maintenance requirements is vital for successfully penetrating
this market. Find out what CPV companies are doing to tap into
this lucrative market.
