Owing to considerable price drops of solar PV modules in 2011, some regions with relatively high costs for electricity are entering the era of grid-parity. Whether the solar PV companies can have a bright, promising future ahead should merit a closer look. The report offers insight into the Implications of grid-parity for global solar PV development in the areas of financing system, policy planning, and market demand.
