Report: Seizing the solar solution: Combating Climate Change through Accelerated Deployment, 12 December 2009, to download, please click here (.pdf)
This report summarizes the surveys from industry leaders from the world?s leading solar countries. The entries show how much solar capacity is currently installed, the targets that the industry associations from those countries have set for solar installation, which policies will be needed to reach the target(s), how many jobs will be created, and how much CO2 emissions will be avoided.

Press release: Industry Leaders Show Solar Energy Can Ramp up Quickly to Help Meet Global CO2 Challenges, 11 December 2009, to download, please click here (.pdf)
According to a new report released by the group today, photovoltaics (PV) alone could provide up to 12 percent of the European Union (EU) electricity demand by 2020. In the United States, the combination of PV, concentrated solar power (CSP) and solar thermal could deliver 15 percent of electricity by 2020. Together, this would reduce CO2 emissions by nearly 1 billion tons annually and create 6.3 million jobs. Accelerated and baseline projections are presented in the report, including China, India, and Sunbelt countries among others.

Executive summary: Potential of On-Grid Photovoltaic Solar Energy in Sunbelt Countries, 11 December 2009, to download, please click here (.pdf, 5mb)
An executive summary of a report commissioned to the strategic consultancy A.T. Kearney by the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA), the Asociación de la Industria Fotovoltaica (ASIF) and the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) that looks at on-grid photovoltaics (PV) potential on a scale of 1 to 10 MWp in 'sunbelt' countries (located between 35° North and 35° South of the equator). These countries have intense sunlight and are experiencing a sharp increase in demand for electricity due to their growing economies and population. However, on-grid PV installations are still very limited, with the current focus being on small systems. PV generation is already cost-competitive in many sunbelt countries due to plentiful sunlight.
