Solar Generation 6 - Executive SummaryDate: October 2010 |  |
 Solar Generation 6 Executive Summary2 (2MB)This publication is the sixth edition of the reference global solar scenarios that have been established by the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) and Greenpeace jointly for almost ten years. It provides well documented scenarios establishing the PV deployment potential world-wide by 2050. The Solar Generation Paradigm Shift Scenario predicts that by 2050, PV could generate enough solar electricity to satisfy 21% of the world electricity needs. This represents a total of 2,260 TWh of solar PV electricity in 2030 and up to 6750 TWh in 2050. This would come from an installed capacity of 1845 GW in 2030 and 4670 GW in 2050, to be compared with 23 GW installed in the world at the end of 2009.

Unlocking the Sunbelt Potential of PhotovoltaicsDate: September 2010 |  |
| This report presents findings regarding possible scenarios under which the Sunbelt PV potential could be unlocked, namely, the Base, the Accelerated and the Paradigm shift. The study further examines the countries which might be first in line to do so, given the attractiveness of PV for their economies and the overall investment climate they offer. The result is graphically summarised in Figure 1, showing PV potential of 66 Sunbelt countries that jointly constitute one large Sunbelt PV potential. This underlines two main messages: while PV potential differs depending on country size and suitability, there is significant potential in every country of the Sunbelt. And jointly, the PV potential of Sunbelt countries amounts to a major contribution to satisfy power demand and decrease the world’s dependency on conventional fuel sources. | |
Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics Until 2014Date: May 2010 |  |
| The European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) has just released its publication “Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics until 2014”. The publication provides detailed figures for the 2009 market and an outlook on the global and main markets until 2014. In 2009, the global solar photovoltaic (PV) market reached 7.2 GW and the cumulative PV power installed totaled over 22 GW world-wide compared to 15 GW in 2008. With around 3.8 GW of newly-installed PV power, Germany remained the largest market in 2009, followed by Italy with 730 MW of additional capacity in the last year. | |
EPIA Annual Report 2009Date: April 2010 |  |
| Although 2009 will remain financially as the worst year since the 1929 crisis, the Global photovoltaic (PV) industry did not go through the same turmoil as conventional industries. One could feel this dynamic especially at our last 24th EU PVSEC in Hamburg which registered a new record number of participants and exhibitors. However 2009 has been prefiguring many challenges that will have to be faced this year and in the coming ones. With the boom of the German market in wait of a feed-in tariff review, the global market size has maintained a positive growth; however it is more than ever essential that our sector does not rely on one single market. It will be vital in 2010 to keep existing markets going and make sure to open new and substantial ones inside and outside Europe.

You In Control?
Making Motivation and Control Work For You
Motivation and control are important qualities to hone as
you strive to become a more grounded and successful person.
These qualities are aspects of a character that is geared
towards working hard for success and handling setbacks
calmly.
When you can harness your motivation you will be able to
push yourself harder and enjoy your work more with each
passing day.
Harnessing both qualities and making them work for you
takes practice, but listed below are some techniques to
help you find and work with your own motivation and control.
1. Understand your motivation better by brainstorming your
goals and desires.
What we want in life and where we are hoping to go
influences the decisions we make and the roads we choose.
When you understand your desires and have delineated your
goals, you can begin to understand what is motivating you
and then can make that motivation work for your ultimate
purposes more effectively.
Make a list of your goals and dreams and look for
similarities between them. These similarities are part of
your motivation and control plan.
2. Practice your control over yourself and your emotions.
Someone who can maintain self-control in the face of
setbacks will be more able to rebound and rectify the
situation.
When you are in touch with your own center of self-control,
you can soothe yourself and calm yourself just as a mother
soothes a crying child.
You know yourself better than anyone, and can learn to make
yourself feel better when stress or anxiety threaten your
peace of mind.
The ability to maintain self control in unhappy situations
will reduce additional damage done to the situation by bad
attitude or actions resulting from anger.
3. When you are tired or having a hard time paying
attention, remember your motivation to fuel your control.
Motivation can produce the necessary fuel to enable you to
be more controlled and efficient.
When you just do not see why you should complete a task,
let your motivation inspire you to work at the control that
comes so easily on other days.
What Winners Do Automatically
There will be days when it does not come easily to be a
winner. On these days, you must harness your motivation and
work to maintain your control.
By using the one to stimulate the other, you will be making
effective use of these qualities and honing them to develop
motivation and control and become stronger at the same time.
Motivation and control are necessary to achieve the height
of success and fulfillment you are looking for. These
qualities are not always easy to maintain or to achieve,
but they are worth working at on the off days.
When you are able to work at these qualities and keep them
in mind, you will be able to conquer tougher projects than
you ever imagined and succeed.
The Missing Key To Success For Many
Motivation and control is the key to reaching heights and
goals you never thought you could manage.
True motivation is not only a learned skill; it is
developed due to a need or desire to make our dreams a
reality.
If you want to find inner motivation, you must identify
your goals and set out on an unwavering path to achieve
them.
You Can Unlock Your True Abilities
Overcoming procrastination is perhaps one of the most
important steps you can take to improve your life and
become the motivated, successful person you are capable of
being.
You have to let go of your old personality and ways of
doing things to change, quit procrastinating and get
motivated!
