The objective of this report is to describe PV industry developments through 1986. Information is presented on a regional basis (United States, Europe, Japan, other) to avoid disclosing company confidential data. Information was gleaned from several sources, including a review of technical literature and direct contacts with many PV manufacturers. Before the regional totals were published, all numbers were compared with those from other sources published in the United States and those supplied by Japanese industry through their solar energy organization.
