Distributed solar growing globally

PV leading renewable distributed energy generation
11. April 2012 - The electric energy power industry is fundamentally changing, according to Pike Research, and photovoltaics has the potential to play a big role in future business models. Overall, the company has identified seven emerging photovoltaic trends.

In a new report, titled 'Distributed solar energy generation: Demand drivers and barriers, technology issues, competitive landscape, and global market forecasts' Pike Research claims that while renewable distributed energy generation (RDEG) contributes to just 0.2 percent of current global electric power generation capacity, it has the potential to play a much more significant role in the future.

"The global electric power industry is evolving from a financial and engineering model that relies on large centralized power plants owned by the utilities to one that is more diverse – both in sources of generation and ownership of the generation assets … RDEG technologies represent a growing part of the new model for the electric power industry," says Pike Research in the report. read more>>>
