Is the photovoltaic industry still a pipe dream?

On the European level, widespread use of PV systems with smart power storage and energy management is still a pipe dream. A small segment of the photovoltaics industry is enjoying increased demand, even if the cause is nothing to celebrate.

How do solar companies help the photovoltaic industry?

Solar companies help the photovoltaic industry by maintaining and increasing the contribution made by existing solar systems to the electricity mix. They achieve this through repair, optimization, and maintenance services, which also confirm general confidence in the reliability of solar technology.

Are photovoltaic module prices decreasing?

Recent investigations confirm that the end of photovoltaic module price declines was apparent within the last few months. While the average price level was still slightly decreasing at the start of 2013, compared to December 2012, a trend reversal was already visible at the end of January.

What helps to increase the contribution of the photovoltaic industry?

Through repair, optimization and maintenance of existing systems, solar companies help to maintain and increase the contribution made by the photovoltaic industry to the electricity mix as a whole and to confirm general confidence in the reliability of this technology.

Are photovoltaic module prices stagnating?

While module prices for non-EU projects are in the lower 40 eurocent range, prices within the European Union are stagnating just above the 50 eurocent mark.
