The PV industry is still hurting for modules….
Europe’s financial incentives are continuing to draw the bulk of manufacturer’s output—and the worldwide shortage of silicon (expected to continue until 2007) is also negatively affecting supplies. But at least there’s a trickle in the pipeline. If you are considering a solar project, lead times are two to six months...or longer (see article, below, ‘Big Demand for Solar Energy’). And for information about the solar tax credit, see

Big demand for solar energy runs up against finite panel supply
|
Global demand for photovoltaic modules is causing months-long delays and price hikes
for would-be buyers in the U.S. American suppliers blame a weak dollar, shortages of raw materials, and swelling demand both at home and abroad. The worldwide solar-power market has grown about 40 percent annually in the last five years -- driven largely by Germany, where an incentive program allows businesses and individuals to sell excess solar-generated electricity back to utilities at a premium rate. Germany consumes 39 percent of the available solar module supply, followed by Japan at 30 percent. The U.S. is a distant third with 9 percent of the market, but new incentives like California's pending Million Solar Roofs plan and a federal tax credit of up to $2,000 (starts 1/1/06) in the newly-signed energy bill are expected to spike domestic demand. Says solar sales director Matt Lugar of Sharp Electronics, the supply problems are
"a natural evolution in any industry that's exploding." For the entire article, see
www.nytimes.com/2005/08/05/national/05solar.html and for information about the solar tax credit, and what it can mean for you, see
