DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8fb8bs/the_global_pv) has announced the addition of the "The Global PV Inverter Landscape 2013: Technologies, Markets, and Survivors" report to their offering.
“The Global PV Inverter Landscape 2013: Technologies, Markets, and Survivors”
The global inverter market continues to play a major role along the solar PV (photovoltaic) supply chain with advances in inverter technology promising more sophisticated grid support and system optimization for residential installations up to utility-scale PV projects.
Inverter technology development is attracting and will continue to attract greater investment and attention as gains in long-term project generation and reliability become crucial to achieve project bankability. Along with the industry's increasing technology and bankability requirements, global PV demand is expanding to markets in China, India, Southeast Asia, South America and regions of Africa. This expansion of global demand will lead to increased competition and slower growth for EU-based inverter incumbents who do not diversify from their domestic base. At the same time, this expansion is providing new supply opportunities to US- and Asia-based inverter manufacturers and to global energy conglomerates leveraging parallel power inversion competencies.
This 225-page report allows PV developers and inverter materials suppliers to more accurately assess the current and future state of the inverter market, as well as to discover new business opportunities available to them in the industry. The report includes an outlook on advanced inverter technologies, technology cost forecasts to 2016, market hospitality by region, vendor rankings and competitive analysis, and global shipment forecasts by technology to 2016.
