Abstract

Amid the booming research on new and renewable energy, the photovoltaic(PV) industry has been growing around the PV advanced countries such as Japan, Germany, Europe and USA. In recent years, China became a strong performer in the world PV market share, increasing solar cell production rapidly. Both world solar cell and module production and installation rose steadily in 2006 like recent bumper years. In 2006, the PV industry produced 2.54GW, representing growth of 40percent over the previous year, and the installations reached a record high of 1,744MW.
