EUROPEAN UNION POLICY FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

 

 

"  Current estimates of worldwide production of solar photovoltaic cells and modules for 1998 are about 120 megawatts (MW), up steadily and dramatically from only 40 MW in 1990. Worldwide sales have been increasing at an average rate of about 15% every year during the last decade, although that growth rate has been slower in some markets and regions but faster in others. We believe there is a realistic possibility for the market to continue to grow at about a 15% rate into the next decade, At this rate, the world production capacity would be 1000MW by 2010"
