Dim outlook seen for solar in '06 Date: Friday, December 30 @ 19:50:33 PST Topic: Business News; Market Research
After sizzling growth in recent times, the solar energy market is projected to dim and “hit the wall” for panel, equipment and materials vendors in 2006, warned an analyst.
The projected slowdown in the solar market for 2006 is mainly due to ongoing and severe shortages of polysilicon, one of the key materials used for making solar cells, said Jesse Pichel, an analyst with Piper Jaffray Inc., an investment banking firm.
