Following on from last week's hugely successful Solar Power UK 2011 event, we take a closer look at what the UK's FiT cuts will mean for the industry, and we've also got some testimonials from attendees of the event on this week's PV-Tech Newscast. Looking across the water to Germany, we provide a glimpse of the possible repercussions of the recent 15% FiT cut; meanwhile, another potentially strong PV market has emerged in the form of the Middle East, with news of the Desertec initiative's recently announced 500MW solar power plant in Morocco. And IMS Research's senior research director for PV, Ash Sharma, provides a commentary on why he thinks next year's installations will beat last year's record levels.
