With the third-quarter financial reporting period well underway, this week's PV-Tech Newscast features a special focus on European PV companies' reporting results in the last seven days and an analysis of key trends for this sector. Solarbuzz is predicting continued growth for PV installations in 2011, but a shift in the geographical mix is also on the cards. Other stories include an update on the US ITC complaint by CASM, fronted by SolarWorld, and we report on Sharp's record solar cell conversion efficiency of 36.9%. Finally, we highlight Keiser Analytics' unique report on the PV inflection point for massive uptake of solar in the US.
