Too little, too early: California’s transient advantage in the photovoltaic solar industry

West, Joel - In: The Journal of Technology Transfer 39 (2014) 3, pp. 487-501

Throughout its brief history, California has established itself as a national or international leader in key industries—such as aerospace, computing and entertainment—through early mover pre-emption and strong clustering effects. California firms were the initial world leaders in producing...

Solar photovoltaics: oligopsony, non-market decision-making and the paradoxical persistence of unprofitability

Srinivasan, Sunderasan - In: International Journal of Green Economics 7 (2013) 2, pp. 116-147

Record volumes of solar PV power plant installations have been achieved on the back of feed-in-tariffs and fiscal incentives. On the supply side, however, equipment manufacturers have been filing for bankruptcy protection in quick succession. This paper is an attempt to unravel the mystery...

Can solar sources meet Australia's electricity and liquid fuel demand?

Trainer, Ted - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 19 (2003) 1, pp. 78-94

It is commonly assumed that because of its relatively high solar energy incidence Australia will be able to meet its energy demand from solar sources. However, an examination of evidence on existing and probable future efficiencies and costs indicates that it will not be possible to derive...

The dynamics of solar PV costs and prices as a challenge for technology forecasting

Candelise, Chiara; Winskel, Mark; Gross, Robert J.K. - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 26 (2013) C, pp. 96-107

An effective energy technology strategy has to balance between setting a stable long term framework for innovation, while also responding to more immediate changes in technology cost and performance. Over the last decade, rather than a steady progression along an established learning curve, PV...

PV-cladding as an energy resource for the UK

Pearsall, N.M.; Hill, R.; Claiden, P. - In: Renewable Energy 5 (1994) 1, pp. 348-355

Photovoltaic cladding of building roofs and facades is receiving considerable attention in many European countries, due to the potential for significant contributions to the electricity supply, even in densely populated countries with little spare land area. The cladding of facades is...

Means of enhancing and promoting the use of solar energy

Bahaj, A.S - In: Renewable Energy 27 (2002) 1, pp. 97-105

The development of renewable technologies in the last decade has been exceptional. In photovoltaic (PV) for example, efforts were not only limited to merely improving their efficiency but also to the reduction of the cost of cells and modules via volume production for commercial markets. There...
