This report presents the results of the eleventh international
survey. It provides an overview of PV power systems applications and markets
in the reporting countries at the end of 2007 and analyzes trends in the
implementation of PV power systems between 1992 and 2007.
The survey report is not intended to serve as an introduction to PV technology.
It is prepared to assist those responsible for developing the strategies
of businesses and public authorities, and to aid the development of medium
term plans for electricity utilities and other providers of energy services.
It also provides guidance to government officials responsible for setting
energy policy and preparing national energy plans.
The scope of the report is limited to PV applications with a rated power
of 40 W or more. Most national data supplied were accurate to ± 10 %.
Data on production levels and system prices vary depending on the willingness
of the relevant national PV industry to provide data for the survey. Key
data for this publication were drawn from national survey reports, which
were supplied by representatives from each of the participating countries.
These national reports can be found in the countries
section.
