Guess I'll just post to myself :-)

Why buy Photocomm? Because the solar market is really booming. For those as nuts as I am you may want to subscribe to an excellent monthly PV News put out by Paul D. Maycock
pvenergy@crosslink.net The newsletter costs 100 per year.

The current edition cites an initial estimate that 1997 global shipments for all producers and all technologies was up over 42% from last year! Maycock cites the annual shipments in MegaWatts as follows:
1991 55.4
1992 57.9
1993 60.1
1994 69.4
1995 77.6
1996 88.6
1997 125.8

Still a drop in the bucket of power consumption but interesting growth and interesting economics.
