The M&A transaction value on the thin-film solar technology increased to $1.08 billion in 2014, growing at 16.3% from 2011 to 2014, while it increased to $247 million in 2014 for concentrated PV technology, growing at 27.1%.
Innova Research published a new report, in which alternative solar technologies are analyzed and ranked based on a matrix analysis of key technologies indexes, patent publications, and M&A activities. The result shows that the winners among the emerging PV technologies are CIGS and HCPV, both are benefiting from their outstanding cost reduction potentials and the feasibility for massive adoptions.
