Solar Photovoltaics: Photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight directly into electricity. Solar PV can be mounted on rooftops, integrated into roof tiles, or placed in empty fields, and can produce electricity even on cloudy days. Germany is a great testament to PV generation potential under cloudy skies: Germany’s solar resources (see map below) are similar to those of Alaska’s, one of the US’s least desirable solar regions. Yet, Germany currently has eight times the installed solar capacity of the entire US due to its supportive policy framework.8 With vastly better solar resources in the US and continued innovations and price reductions in solar technologies, the domestic photovoltaic industry has already begun to take off. The solar PV industry is projected to continue its explosive growth, expanding at 40% annually until 2010. Worldwide investments in the production of PV are estimated to rise to the same level as those for semiconductor manufacturing by 2010 and global manufacturing capacity is projected to increase from 90-100 production lines (greater than 1MW capacity) to 400.9 There are currently thousands of companies developing, producing, installing, and maintaining PV systems in the US.
