The world is moving ahead. Yet those who stick with tried and true technology may soon realize that they can no longer keep pace.
Sunshine is free of charge! That makes it a great fuel for power generation. The value of this free energy and generated power depends on demand and available alternative sources. In other words, it’s a case of simple supply and demand.
The question is how to harvest this energy effectively and generate high quality power to the grid. Solar intensity, cloudiness and available land conditions vary in different locations and parts of the world. Besides that, it comes down to a proper system design and selection of optimal components.
Between 2009 – 2011, we were spoiled by a “green race” that started as a sprint. There was an urgent need to bring Asian nations—especially China—into line with the rest of the world to use cleaner and more efficient energy sources.
Suddenly in 2012, it’s turned into something of a marathon, with companies and financial institutions involved in the market, which has been slowed by regulatory and political climates that have evolved in the face of new economic realities.
The 2012 Global Top 10 award reflects The Switch’s cleantech success and market position as a key component supplier to the wind power company in the $163.1 billion global cleantech industry. It also indicates that The Switch’s unique innovations are making a positive contribution to the green economy.
The impact of the uncertain global economy and the momentary dip in the Chinese wind power market have been felt even by Finnish wind power industry players. Despite challenging market conditions, Finland-based key component manufacturer The Switch continues to aim towards international success. The company has been able to demonstrate that wind power energy can be produced cost effectively with advanced technology.
