Solar Investments
What’s happening in the solar energy industry? What is driving investment? And what should I be looking for in choosing the correct investment in the industry? These are the primary questions we presume most of you are asking and that we hope to go at least some way to answering here.
Recent Developments
A recent report issued by the World Economic Forum, states the investment in the solar energy sector was equivalent to US$ 17.7bn in project financing in 2007. With investment volume equaling US$ 50bn in 2008, that’s a 62% year-on-year growth.
In terms of actual energy production, globally, annual solar power production was around 21 GW as of 2010, and growing fast. Although comprising a tiny fraction of the 4.8 TWs of global energy production capacity, it is the fastest growing energy technology in the world today, renewable or otherwise. EstelaSolar has predicted that the EU alone could achieve 30GW by 2020.
For investors, now is the moment when political and financial factors have combined to make it the opportune time to look closely at the solar energy market.
