Domestic manufacturing of PV cells in the US has dramatically increased during the past few years. Manufacturers were estimated to have reported around 30% increase in photovoltaic cells and modules shipments during 2009 against 2008. PV cells and modules shipments registered a CAGR of 56% (which was amongst the highest in the world) during 2006-2009. The future growth prospects of the domestic PV cells manufacturing looks promising as various PV companies has started expanding their domestic operations, says our new research report “US Photovoltaic Market Analysis”. The companies include Hemlock Semiconductor, First Solar, United Solar Ovonic, Schott Solar, and SolarWorld AG. These expansions will directly and indirectly support various new permanent job opportunities.
Moreover, our team of experts has found that, Crystalline Silicon cells, including single-crystal and cast & ribbon types, were the most preferred means of solar power generation as they accounted for majority share of the PV cells and module shipments in the US. Especially in the commercial segment, these modules are being heavily deployed owing to their cost benefits and comparatively higher efficiency.
