The 29GW figure fromNPD Solarbuzz would imply a year-on-year expansion of the global PV market of5%, the first time in a decade that annual growth fell short of 10%.
Even 29GW, however, wouldstill be a record on the 27.7GW that Solarbuzz says was added last year. And ina sign of just how quickly the industry has grown in recent years, it would stillbe equivalent to a whopping 30% of the cumulative worldwide PV capacity connected to the grid at theend of 2012.
Regardless
