Title U.S. PV Installation Market Predicted To Become The World's Largest By 2013
Description

Img source:lead acid battery prices The U.S. photovoltaic market will become the largest market for annual PV installations in 2013 - overtaking Germany, Italy and Japan, according to a new report from ABI Research.An estimated 900 MW of installed capacity came online during 2010 in the U.S., and that number is expected to almost double this year. Renewable energy technologies are receiving a strong push in the U.S., with utility, industrial and commercial PV installations expected to drive growth."The U.S. federal government continues to focus on developing energy sources other than fossil fuels by extending its investment tax credits to 2016, and U.S. states are setting ambitious renewable portfolio standards (RPS)," says Josh Flood, senior analyst at ABI Research.Thirty U.S. states currently have an RPS in place, ABI Research notes. In addition, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) clarified a ruling last year that previously had inhibited states from setting feed-in tariffs (FITs) for renewable energy technologies.ABI Research predicts that a number of states will introduce FITs before the end of 2012. California - which has a RPS target of 33% by 2020 - is likely to be the first state to introduce FITs for PV power generation, according to the report.The U.S. PV market is set to witness explosive growth over the next few years, with a forecast of 5 GW installed during 2013. This is particularly good news for companies such as First Solar, SunPower Corp. and Solar World, ABI Research says."These PV companies can expect to achieve considerable growth from the U.S. market," Flood predicts. "In total, the three will add a combined 3,000 MW of additional manufacturing capacity for PV modules during 2011 and 2012." The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has finalized a $150 million loan guarantee to 1366 Technologies Inc. for the development of a multicrystalline wafer manufacturing project that the DOE believes could significantly drive down the costs of solar manufacturing.The conditional commitment was announced in June.The project will be capable of producing approximately 700 MW to 1,000 MW of silicon-based wafers annually using a manufacturing process called Direct Wafer. Phase I of the project will be located in Lexington, Mass., and is expected to fund 70 permanent jobs and 50 construction jobs. Constellation Energy says that its retail business is offering a solar panel leasing program to residential customers in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The program offers homeowners a choice of little to no money down or a prepaid lease for a 20-year term."Leasing can sharply reduce the up-front costs for solar, and in this economy, that's an important consideration," says Mark Huston, head of Constellation Energy's retail business. "For qualified residential customers whose homes meet the requirements for sun exposure and roof area, solar can have a considerable impact on reducing their electricity costs. "In Maryland, Constellation will offer residential solar sales and leasing through its subsidiary BGE HOME. More information is available at bgehome.com.In markets outside of Maryland, Constellation will offer residential solar leasing under the brand "Leasing Powered by Constellation Energy." Maryland-based Astrum Solar is providing sales, installation and service support for Constellation's residential solar leasing program. Find out more：lithium battery rechargeable
