I pick this up off a newspost'
* PV has been growing 70% - 80% annually in the U.S.
* Solar hot water is growing 50% - 80% every year
* California has an RPS (renewable portfolio standard) of 20% by 2010, meaning we need to have 20% of our power coming from solar by then.
* Most CEOs estimate that by 2010 we the world market for PV will be about 15 GW (gigawatts or 15,000 megawatts). Compare this to our current level of a little over 2 GW.
* Today, worldwide, we get 1/10 of 1% of our power from solar
* By 2030 we will get 30% of our power from solar
* By 2100 we will get 70% of our power from solar
:)
Oh and here in Ont .Canada. Builders are offering Solar Ready homes, by preinstalling raceways/or conduit for solar thermal and Pv wiring...Finally.
