The global solar power market has experienced tremendous growth during the last three years as a consequence of increasing government concerns about energy security and independence. In addition, other factors, such as rising energy prices; volatility of fuel costs; and government incentives for renewable energy, have contributed to the acceleration of market growth. The present research service analyzed the global solar power markets along with the revenues and installed capacity forecasts. Supported by identifying the drivers and restraints, as well as challenges, facing these markets.
