IDC Energy Insights has launched three new global-research projects focused on quantifying and tracking the rapidly-growing Smart Meter, Photovoltaic Module, and Solar Inverter markets. To help man the new programmes, five analysts will be joining IDC's Worldwide Tracker team, which will be managed by Ryan Reith.
“Although IDC Energy Insights has been covering these markets from a qualitative perspective for the past five years – analyzing market trends, key vendors, and implementation best practices – we're now expanding our coverage into the quantitative arena using IDC's proven Tracker methodology and process. This initiative will provide additional value to any organization that needs worldwide quarterly updates on these smart grid and clean energy technologies, but is especially relevant to technology suppliers, government agencies, and the investment community,” said Rick Nicholson, vice president of research for IDC Energy Insights.
