* Solar pv at new high in 2011
* General electric leads pv for 2011
* Solar thermal owners remain scattered
ALBANY, NY—Heslin Rothenberg Farley & Mesiti P.C. is pleased to announce the Shine-On Solar edition of the Clean Energy Patent Growth Index (CEPGI) by the firm’s Cleantech Group.
The Shine On Solar edition of the CEPGI provides an indication of the trends in innovative activity in the Solar energy sector.
Victor Cardona, Co-chair of the firm’s Cleantech Group stated, “Solar patents in 2011 reached levels 60% higher than 2010 and about three times those of 2009.
Solar vastly outperformed the other non-Fuel Cell sectors after hitting a record low in the third quarter of 2008.
Solar PV patents spiked in 2011 to record levels with Second Generation Solar PV patents topping the other generations of PV technology.
General Electric led the other Solar PV patent owners while Solar Thermal patents in 2010 were granted to 28 separate entities all with one patent each.”
The Shine On Solar edition analyzes the Solar sector and illustrates where patents are being granted within the Solar arena. This edition of our Shine On Solar edition analyzes solar energy trends in general with an emphasis on solar patenting trends in 2011.
As depicted below, Solar technology patents in continued to shine- reaching levels nearly three times that of 2009 and vastly outperforming the other non-Fuel Cell sectors after hitting a record low in the third quarter of 2008. >> More
