Abstract

This study aims to explore the evolution of the photovoltaic supply chain in the United States and the drivers which foster growth of the solar market. The study will gather knowledge on the growth of the solar market and roles of different firms in the supply chain as the solar market moves toward maturity. Based on different drivers including, but not limited to, government incentives, electricity prices, and component prices, the study will build a methodology to conduct a solar market potential analysis for each state. During this process, the study aims to interpret the trends in the supply chain and assess the impact of these trends on the solar market
