NanoMarkets
today announced that it will release a new report that analyzes the
commercial development and opportunities for photovoltaic (PV)
encapsulation. The report titled, "Markets and Materials for
Thin-Film, DSC and Organic PV Encapsulation - 2012" will be
available in early October of 2012. Additional details about the
report are available at

About
the Report:
Thin-film,
DSC and organic PV are notoriously vulnerable to oxygen and water
vapor; much more so than conventional crystalline silicon PV.
NanoMarkets believes that as these newer forms of solar panel
technology become ever more pervasive, it is creating a growing
opportunity to supply cost-effective encapsulation technology into
the PV space.
Although,
in the not-too-distant past, several firms have tried to exploit
similar opportunities without success, NanoMarkets now believes that
the time is right for PV encapsulation to lead to significant revenue
generation for well-prepared companies and this report is designed to
assist a variety of firms in preparing for the PV encapsulation
opportunity.
-
Firms that have targeted the PV encapsulation space will learn
which of the several novel encapsulation technologies that are now
emerging will be success in the PV market and which sectors of the
market will be most receptive to them. In particular, this report
examines the implications for encapsulation makers of the rise of
flexible PV for BIPV and other applications. Our analysis here takes
into account the differing objectives of key encapsulation firms,
which include large multinationals like 3M and Corning to specialty
firms such as Tera Barrier Films and Beneq.
-
The report also provides guidance to firms providing thin-film,
DSC and organic PV, showing how improved encapsulation can be
leveraged by such firms to create larger addressable markets. This
discussion of encapsulation-related opportunities for PV suppliers is
set in the context of today's PV industry with its poor margins and
technological uncertainties. The report will also be important to the
building products industry, since encapsulation is a key
enabling technology for building-integrated PV (BIPV), expected to be
the fastest growing sector of the PV industry over the next decade
and a diversification opportunity.
-
NanoMarkets also believes this report will also be of considerable
interest to the glass industry, since even though rigid and
heavy we anticipate that glass will continue to be the most widely
used material for encapsulation for PV technology. In particular,
this report we provide guidance on the revenues that glass firms can
expect to generate from the non-conventional PV sector.
In
this report NanoMarkets provides eight-year forecasts of PV
encapsulation markets in both value ($ millions) and volume (area of
material) shipped. Breakouts are by type of encapsulation technology
used and type of PV. In addition, this report appraises the
product/market strategies being adopted by the leading active in
thin-film, OPV and DSC encapsulation.
