Development PV Market

Europe is the leading photovoltaic market

In the last few years, the PV Industry has experienced a strong growth, which is expected to continue. In 2009, the global cumulative capacity was approaching 23 GW. With almost 16 GW, over 70% of the global cumulative PV is installed in Europe (Source: EPIA 2010)

Besides Germany, Italy and France, increasing markets are also UK and BeNeLux

Next to Europe, Japan and USA are growing very strongly (USA 2009: 484 MW, Japan 2009: 477 MW newly installed)

Conclusion

•photovoltaic young market here, but Ukraine has high potential for the use of PV

•Excellent environmental conditions for PV in Ukraine

•PV helps to reduce dependence on conventional sources, depends to decrease Energy

imports from Russia.

•If the Green tariffs are promoted well it attracts foreign investors

•PV investments into systems are independent from econonmical cycles, because of

legally fixed tariffs via FIT and low added costs for end users by re-allocation per each

single kWh

•PV FIT will push Ukraine development of the local industry and creates jobs

•The more PV markets, the more production, the faster cost decrease

•We are in a transition phase of the total energy system – THIS IS NOT FOR FREE!

•We are all responsible!
