With deep roots in the solar energy industry since 2001, Solarbuzz is an international solar energy research and consulting company. With analysts in the US, Europe and now Asia, our company is staffed by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable team drawn from some of the largest companies in the solar energy industry today.

The mission of Solarbuzz is to be the leading solar energy consultancy in the world.

Solarbuzz provides a range of services including industry reports, custom research and consulting, and Solarbuzz.com, a popular online resource for industry news and information. Our products and services are designed for specialist use by companies and organizations that need a detailed and comprehensive understanding of the solar photovoltaic market and industry.

Solarbuzz LLC was acquired by The NPD Group in March 2010 and operates in partnership with DisplaySearch, an NPD Group company focused on flat panel display research. We share a common vision to provide comprehensive, high quality solar market research to our respective client bases.

As a result of this acquisition, Solarbuzz gains access to an extended network of sales and research support around the world, especially in Asia. Our clients will also benefit with further expansions to the existing range of Solarbuzz reports and consulting services.

Solarbuzz has been developing research reports on the solar energy industry for almost ten years.

Our most popular reports include

Marketbuzz® 2010 is our global PV industry report released every year in March. We believe this is a truly distinctive market report and one that incorporates the type of commercial insight that can only come from staff who have, prior to joining Solarbuzz, been active themselves in the global PV business chain.

Intensive commercial information and analysis of the downstream PV markets is available in our annual reports on Europe, Asia Pacific and United States. Each year, these reports provide essential market information for both established PV leading companies and also for new market entrants.

Solarbuzz® QUARTERLY, a brand new report, updates global PV supply, demand, inventory data for the prior 5 quarters and projects forward that data for the next quarters.

We are confident that no other solar energy consultancy reports match the data intensity or commercial insight of those released by Solarbuzz.

Our news service on Solarbuzz.com is based only upon public information and press releases from organizations regarding their solar energy activities. We are disseminators, not creators, of news.

As a result, there are no "journalistic activities" at Solarbuzz.com. The news is a free service for the PV industry and designed to facilitate speedy global communication around this rapidly growing clean energy source.

We are careful to be independent and impartial in this service and prefer to avoid amending/editing a news story, once it has qualified for inclusion. Criteria for inclusion on the site are that the news is relevant (to solar energy), material (sufficient "buzz quotient") and timely (we try to avoid "old news").

We routinely confirm with companies, who submit news to us, the response they receive to stories placed on solarbuzz.com. We now often receive feedback that a story on Solarbuzz.com brings in the largest response of any solar energy news online source or print magazine platform.

If we judge a news story to carry particularly strong content, it will also be included in our FREE weekly e-mail newsletter, NBuzz. The subscribers to NBuzz include the most influential personnel across the worldwide solar energy industry today. NBuzz means that you don't have to wait for news carried later by print based publications.

We only include articles on renewable energy where they relate to funding or policy issues that we believe have a direct connection to solar energy. We are, of course, delighted to receive your news submissions.

We reserve the right to determine whether to place the submissions on the website.

Launched in 2001, Solarbuzz.com has grown to be one of the most popular online sources for information on solar energy. The core weekly Solarbuzz community (in other words, excluding repeat visits and spiders) is estimated at around 20,000, making solarbuzz.com possibly the largest single destination, either online or print media, for people dedicated to following the progress of the rapidly growing worldwide solar energy industry.

Our goal is to ensure that this content is independent and gives profile to the many applications and regions where solar energy is making in-roads. We encourage potential purchasers of solar energy and products to use the country pages, where you will find not only the solar companies closest to you, but through their websites, also gain valuable information regarding how to get the best out of solar power.

We welcome any help that you can provide on suggestions for new or updated content and links. With your active input, we hope Solarbuzz.com continues to contribute to the interest in the commercial potential of solar energy. E-mail us at info@solarbuzz.com with your comments.

We strive to be a positive force for those working in, and served by, the solar energy industry, to broaden the profile of the solar energy industry to outside interests and to help display the commercial potential of the industry over the next few years.

Our vision is to see solar energy become a mainstream energy source across the world based upon sound economic criteria. We believe that the provision of accurate, timely and independent industry information is an important contribution to realizing this vision. We are extremely appreciative of your support.
