Alternative energy, in particular solar PV, is a major growth area for new companies, materials companies, equipment suppliers and EMS providers in the electronics industry, both in the panels and balance of plant manufacture. Despite recent painful bankruptcy filings by prominent solar PV companies, there is solid growth and strong government investment to develop the next generation thin-film cells under the SunShot and other programs.
This presentation looks at the growth of this industry segment, some of the gaps and showstoppers identified in the iNEMI roadmap and some of the new technology that is quietly enabling many of these developments.
