The worldwide market of renewable energy sources (and especially the photovoltaic cell market) is currently in the phase of dynamic extensive growth. This is due to political factors (increasing concerns about global warming, the Kyoto and Rio protocols) as well as to rapid technological development. The production of photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules increased by 35% over the last decade and reached the 1 GW per year level in 2004. The largest segment of the production is based on crystalline silicon (c-Si) technologies.
