Summary:In this study, current conditions and problems faced by SME in the Photovoltaic business will be studied and clarified. The PV selling production volume has been increasing rapidly at a rate of 140-150% since 2000. This is not only due to the technological progress in photovoltaic cell device and innovation in manufacturing technologies, but also due to the government support for the same. One of the regional trends in PV business is the role played by installation contractors due to troubles relating to leaking roof and damage of building material. Installation work is mainly categorized into two types. One is related to the work on the roof and the other relates to electrical installation. Cooperation between both is indispensable and roles of system integrator is critical for the smooth implementation of the system.
