Is solar photovoltaic (PV) a market anchored GIS configuration?

According to the typology of generic GIS configurations proposed by Binza and Truffera (2017), the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry fell into the market-anchored type of GIS in the early phase.

What is the European solar PV Alliance?

The European Solar PV Alliance is a network contributing to building resilience and strategic autonomy for Europe's solar PV value chain.

What is a snapshot of global PV markets?

This 11th edition of the “Snapshot of Global PV Markets” aims at providing preliminary information on how the PV market developed in 2022. The 28th edition of the PVPS complete “Trends in Photovoltaic Applications” report will be published in Q4 2023.

How is the PV industry segmented?

However, the PV industry value chain is increasingly segmented due to globalization, in which the production process has been split into a set of separable segments (Zhang and Gallagher, 2016). Either PV technology innovation or the PV industry needs to combine the modules with inverters and batteries to generate power into integrated systems.

Is the PV value chain based on priority patent applications spatiotemporal?

However, the boundaries of PV national innovation systems are blurring, and the PV value chain is gradually modularized in the context of innovation and product globalization. The paper explores the spatiotemporal evolution of the PV value chain based on priority patent applications from a global perspective.

Which countries adopt spatial GIS in the PV industry?

The shift of innovation mode results in the reconfiguration of spatial GIS for the PV industry. The leading countries, such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan, have first-mover advantages, while emerging countries shape technological trajectories as new technology adopters (Quitzow, 2015).
