What is the dominant investment trend in solar PV?

The dominant investment trend, in addition to a growing market size, is also a shift toward emerging markets. Analysis of 20 of the leading Chinese solar PV companies shows 343 offices in 70 countries around the world (Fig. 3).

Does the solar PV industrial chain have a spatial and temporal evolution?

The study reveals the spatial and temporal evolution of the emission and mitigation intensities of the solar PV industrial chain, applying spatiotemporal data to take account of historical net GHG savings.

Which solar PV manufacturers can compete with China?

The only other solar PV manufacturers from other countries that can compete with China on scale are Hanwha Q Cells and LG Electronics from the Republic of Korea and First Solar in the United States.

Can China transfer solar photovoltaic technology to South-South?

Therefore, even as the majority of China's solar activities abroad are in the downstream segments of solar product sales and project development, there are still opportunities for South-South transfer of solar photovoltaic technology within these activities.

What technologies are used in PV energy production?

Conventionally, commercial production of PV energy has been centered around crystalline silicon and thin-film technologies (e.g., Cadmium telluride (CdTe) and Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS)).

Why did Hanergy acquire a flexible solar module?

The acquisition helped Hanergy improve its flexible module, which is expected to provide greater opportunities for the use of solar PV in more diverse ways from building integrated PV to personal PV products such as applications for backpacks and bicycles (PV Magazine, 2013).
