Abstract
The photovoltaic (PV) industry has seen rapid change and a great deal of turmoil, particularly over the past 2decades. Rapidly decreasing cost-per watt module prices, the loss of government and utility subsidies and incentives, and decreasing fossil fuel prices and import tariffs have driven out many manufacturers, shifted global production, and forced promising technologies to the periphery. A majority of the installed megawatts of PV power are in large investor-financed commercial and utility-scale projects; for example, the 1000MW Kurnool Ultra Mega Solar Park (India) consists of over four million modules. When completed, the Pavagada (India) solar park is expected to produce 2000MW of electricity, with no size limit in sight for future projects.
