Surviving in a crowed market…

Problems in the availability of silicon have driven developers to explore thin film PV. Worldwide, some 140 companies have announced plans for commercial production of PV thin film modules within the next five years.However, only five companies in the world appear to be selling modules in quantities larger than ten MW. Planned global PV production capacity appears to be much greater than forecast demand, resulting in a huge gap. Some industry experts expect many of the entrants to bail out as sales fail to match investor expectations.

So how can thin film PV enterprises survive to reap the eventual rewards predicted for their technology? Where should they be looking for business now? How should they shape their product and commercial strategies to meet the future demands of the market?
