Solar Cell Industry Solar Cell Industry – High growth rate– High growth rate
TEXAS (Commodity Online):TEXAS (Commodity Online): Global Global solar cell manufacturing industry is in for solar cell manufacturing industry is in for shining times ahead as its capacity will shining times ahead as its capacity will grow 56% in 2009 grow 56% in 2009 to 17 GW. Ramped to 17 GW. Ramped capacity, which was only 2.3 GW in 2005, capacity, which was only 2.3 GW in 2005, is forecast to grow at is forecast to grow at a compound annual a compound annual growth rate of 49%growth rate of 49% to more than 42 GW in to more than 42 GW in 2013. 2013.

In 2005, 95% of solar cell manufacturing In 2005, 95% of solar cell manufacturing capacity was for crystalline silicon solar capacity was for crystalline silicon solar cells and 5% for thin film solar cells. cells and 5% for thin film solar cells.
In 2009, thin film will account for more In 2009, thin film will account for more than 20% of capacity. By 2013, thin film than 20% of capacity. By 2013, thin film technologies are forecast to account for as technologies are forecast to account for as much as 30% of solar cell capacity. much as 30% of solar cell capacity.
