Previously released in January 2008 and revised in April 2008, the
pvresources.com Annual Report 2007 was among the first publicly available
reports to present basic statistical data on the majority of large-scale
photovoltaic power plants worldwide. Due to positive feedback and numerous
citations in professional magazines and events, a new annual review was
prepared for 2008. It is much more ambitious than the previous one,
targeting professional readers including policy makers, market researchers,
consultancy organisations, scientists and other experts in related fields.
The past year was characterised by several projects of MW-range photovoltaic
(PV) power plants, and it was also the year with the highest market growth
related to large-scale photovoltaic systems ever. Not only in Spain, where
progress is abundantly clear, but in a number of other countries the
cumulative installed power increased significantly. In the European Union
progress was, among other countries, observed in Italy, the Czech Republic
and France; the German market decreased slightly, but due to the tremendous
market expansion in Spain the installed power from 2008 still matched the
level of the previous year. Regardless of whether you are an engineer, market
analyst, investor or customer - in this report you will find useful
comprehensive information and statistical data about large-scale photovoltaic
power plants available nowhere else, covering a wide range of their
applications. Pvresources. com web site was proven to be a reliable and
accurate source of information about large-scale photovoltaic power plants
worldwide in the past, and I will do my best to ensure that it will remain
the most accurate source of such information into the future.
