NanoMarkets LC’s Report “The Business Case for Building Integrated Photovoltaics” is now available at ReportsnReports.com.

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/22/2011 -- The Business Case for Building Integrated Photovoltaics - As the conventional solar panels business becomes increasingly commoditized, the solar panel industry is seeking out new ways to add value to their products. Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) represents one strategy for achieving this.

In the past, the business case for photovoltaics has been made entirely on the basis of return on investment, with the primary performance factor at the solar panel level being efficiency. From a strategic perspective, what BIPV brings to the table is a range of new ways that will enable solar panel makers to distinguish their products in the marketplace to a degree that has not been possible up to now.

BIPV also cuts through the boundaries that have existed between building materials and solar panels, thereby both expanding the solar panel market and creating the potential for novel hybrid products that are both solar energy sources and cladding, roofing, windows, etc. These hybrids both radically change the cost models for solar and also create the need to rethink the value proposition that solar panels of the BIPV kind can bring to the table. In particular, for first time BIPV will enable PV panels that will be judged on their architectural merit and not just on functionality.

In light of the impact that BIPV promises to have on the solar market, we believes that the time is right for a serious analysis of the business cases that are appropriate to BIPV. In this report we provide a thorough examination of the key factors that prove out BIPV as a viable product offering and provide readers with a clear understanding of how manufacturers can assign value to the aesthetics of solutions, the particular selling points of specific markets and how they can best justify their products to the various customer segments.

This analysis draws on our a long experience of analyzing the PV industry and the strategies the firms in the BIPV market. It will provide valuable insight to firms currently active in the BIPV sector, those planning to enter it, and the investors who back them.

NanoMarkets LC’s Report “CIGS Photovoltaics Market Opportunities 2011” is now available at ReportsnReports.com.

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/20/2011 -- CIGS Photovoltaics Market Opportunities 2011 - In recent years, CIGS has become a collection of contradictions. While it has achieved the highest conversion efficiency among the thin-films, its progress toward high volumes has been sluggish. And while the volume growth of leading companies has been well behind the level of expectations that CdTe has set, dozens of small companies continue to enter the CIGS market, especially in China and Taiwan. Finally, while flexible CIGS PV-especially in the form of BIPV-is widely considered the path for success, there are still concerns about the durability of such flexible products given CIGS' sensitivity to moisture.

What will it take for the large manufacturers of CIGS PV to finally approach the Gigawatt range in volume? And what do the small players stand to gain by entering this crowded field? What is the value proposition of CIGS that makes it so attractive? Will CIGS ever make real money, and will investors be available to build the necessary capacity? These questions are examined and answered in this report.

This report also analyzes the money-making opportunities for CIGS PV. These are examined from the perspectives of CIGS PV's strengths-high performance and flexibility-and its weaknesses, sensitivity to moisture and difficult manufacturing processes. It takes an honest look at the processes and strategies of the various firms making CIGS and at the markets in which CIGS has unique advantages.

This report also includes eight-year forecasts of the market for CIGS PV. These forecasts are broken down by type of application-BIPV, flexible devices, etc.-and by the manufacturing technology used, including deposition technology and flexible vs. rigid manufacturing. This report is essential reading for firms that manufacture or develop CIGS PV and for everyone interested in future of the PV industry.
