Photovoltaics (PV) is the field of technology and research related to the application
of solar cells for energy by converting sunlight directly into electricity. Due to the
growing demand for clean sources of energy, the manufacture of solar cells and photovoltaic
arrays has expanded dramatically in recent years. Photovoltaic production has been doubling
every two yearsreasing by an average of 48 percent each year since 2002, making it the
world's fastest-growing energy technology. At the end of 2007, according to preliminary
data, cumulative global production was 12,400 megawatts. Roughly 90% of this generating
capacity consists of grid-tied electrical systems. Such installations may be ground-mounted
(and sometimes integrated with farming and grazing) or built into the roof or walls of
a building, known as Building Integrated Photovoltaic or BIPV for short.
