Photovoltaic Energy Growth in Europe 

27 April 2009
The photovoltaic solar energy sector in Europe grew by 152% in 2008, according to figures released by renewable energy analyst EurObserv’ER. The majority of new installations were introduced in Germany and Spain, which in 2008 together accounted for 4.2 gigawatt-peak (GWp) capacity. The overall capacity of the EU is currently 9.5 GWp, but EurObserv’ER predicts that this will almost double by the end of 2010. The EU continues to be the leader in the global solar power market, with about 80% of the world's installed capacity.

I've been using EU Issue Tracker for more than three years: it offers me daily updated, detailed and high quality information on the Environmental, Health & Safety issues I am following, saving me valuable time at a very fair cost/benefit ratio.
Eddy RoelantsVice-President Technology and Environmental PolicySIEMENS AG
The Issue Tracker saves me huge amounts of time. It's like having another member of staff. The 'past-present-future' approach is very useful too.
James JohnstonPolicy AdviserScottish Government
Given the wide scope of issues to be covered under food policy, it is practically impossible to be always up-to-date on all issues. Issue Tracker is therefore a very useful tool! Not only does it send an alert when there is progress made on the dossiers, but it can be easily accessed whenever necessary.
Adviser on Food Policy and CustomersEuroCommerce
EU Issue Tracker is second-to-none in terms of up-to-date regulatory monitoring. The user-friendly tool delivered by EU Issue Tracker's high quality team saves time and energy but delivers what you need, when you need it.
