Latin America and Caribbean PV Demand Growing 45% Annually Out To 2017, According to NPD Solarbuzz

Published by fnever on January 3rd, 2013 - in Knowledge Base

Santa Clara, Calif. () January 02, 2013

for solar photovoltaic (PV) energy across Latin America and the Caribbean is poised for explosive growth through 2017, with a forecasted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45%, according to the new Emerging PV Markets Report: Latin America & Caribbean.

According to Chris Sunsong, Analyst at NPD Solarbuzz, ?Historically, PV demand was confined to rural off-grid and niche applications, but new renewable energy policies and incentive programs are now opening up the region for strong PV deployment. Set against a backdrop of strong economic growth, expanding energy demand, and increasing electricity prices, the conditions for PV adoption appear particularly attractive.?

Mexico, Chile, and Brazil are emerging as market leaders within the region, driven by a combination of net-metering, Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), and other policies. These three countries are forecast to have almost 70% of PV demand within the region by 2017.

By the end of 2012, energy regulators across the region will have received PV project applications in excess of 6 gigawatts (GW), stimulating a healthy pipeline of new opportunities for PV component suppliers, developers and installers.

The dominant ground-mount segment is forecast to provide 60% of PV demand by 2017. However, commercial and residential segments will see increased PV adoption from 2015 onwards, as PV prices continue to decline and local installers target new revenue opportunities. The off-grid sector will continue to benefit from increased demand from rural electrification and development initiatives.

While the fundamentals for PV adoption remain particularly strong and the long-term prospects are highly appealing, a variety of technical, economic, and political obstacles still exist that must be overcome. ?PV connection and integration procedures are not yet clearly defined, and there are concerns about grid stability as PV contributions come online,? noted Sunsong. ?Electricity subsidies in Mexico and low natural gas prices in Peru are also delaying the onset of PV grid-parity for some end-user categories, while import tariffs across the region are keeping PV system costs on the high side.?

With PV demand softening across established European countries and growing uncertainty regarding access to PV markets in the US, China and India, emerging PV regions are essential to sustain revenue growth targets. ?Having a successful market-entry strategy for Latin America is now essential for leading PV suppliers before key markets develop in the region and supply-chains and purchasing channels are established,? concluded Sunsong.

The NPD Solarbuzz Emerging PV Markets Report: Latin America & Caribbean provides an essential guide to PV growth opportunities across the Latin America and Caribbean region and is part of the new Emerging PV Market Report series available from NPD Solarbuzz. The report identifies the leading PV opportunities across the region, as well as any barriers to PV adoption that are necessary to understand. The report also features key project developers, market segmentation and trends, grid parity analyses, and prospective PV customers.

The price of throughout 2011 was put at .80, this was uncovered by a research during March 2012. that the cost of in 2011 was more or less .80. Besides that these investigators believed that by end of this year, the costs will shrink more to .50 for each . Because the Pv systems don’t fossil fuels thus often the life of such Solar units can last 25 to 40 years. The multinational seminar over Solar Photovoltaic Investments, set up by EPIA, has guessed that Photovoltaic systems may pay back individuals getting it in 8 to 12 years. For that reason, since ’06 it is actually cheap for investors to use photovoltaics at no cost in exchange for an extended term energy purchase agreement. Around 50 % of commercial systems had been installed in this fashion in 2007 and it is expected that 90% can by ’09.

The entire expense for installation of Solar power systems has fallen below that of nuclear energy and is set to drop further. The actual retailer rate of solar panels that is perceived by the Solar energy buzz group reduced from .50/watt to .43/watt over the course of ’11, and a decline to prices below .00/watt appears inevitable. When it comes to a bigger-size setups, costs lower than .00/watt are in fact common. In most areas, solar units has hit parity to grid, the price at which it is contending with fossil fuel or gas powered . At the same time, it’s now certain that, owing to a carbon pricing of /ton, which might raise the rate of fossil fuel fired electricity by 5c/kWh, solar power shall be inexpensive in most areas. The falling rate of solar energy is indicated in exponentially expanding installations, adding up to nearly 23 GW in 2011.At the same time, governments have prepared different capital concessions to support the use of solar power, like feed-in tariff schemes. Moreover, Renewable portfolio benchmarks enforce a government mandate that power providers manufacture or purchase a certain portion of environment-friendly electricity in spite of inflated energy buying rates. Recently, non-rebated solar energy is indeed competitively priced with fossil fuels in India, Hawaii, Italy and Spain. It’s no more a lavishness of the affluent and is currently contending in the actual life with no subsidies. Solar power is going to compete without concessions against normal energy resources in almost all the nations by 2015.Australian government has announced subsidy for homeowners, establishments and communities known as “Solar Credits” to cut down the cost associated in having solar panels. It was passed into law on 20th August 2009, however the rules continuously modify the of the rebate frequently decreasing it with quite small notification timeperiod. Usually, basic price of a running 1.5kW solar power system may be approximately ,500 which is actually pricey, although since you enjoy government Rebate of ,000 it would in fact cost you almost ,500 for 1.5KW of installed solar system thus lessening the cost. This also aids in reducing the expense of this green electric energy.

Owing to escalating environmental pollution day-by-day, it is advisable to choose renewable resource of consistent power which would bring the smog levels down. Solar power is one such resource, neither does it release co2 nor any sound rather gives clean power and is acknowledged as the future of energy need.
