"Businesses are increasingly installing solar water heating to help them meet environmental goals and hedge against rising energy prices, according…research and consulting firm AltaTerra Research…[The] U.S. solar water heating market is growing at about 20 percent per year in the commercial sector, a significant acceleration from long-term trends. Power purchase agreements are catching on for commercial solar thermal installations, which bodes well for the development of a robust market…"…[Solar Water Heating on the Rise] said that solar heating installations lower energy expenditures for most customers. Solar water heating captures about four times as much energy as solar photovoltaic systems, with much less expensive equipment…This results in a lower long-term energy cost before any cash incentives are taken into account."

The USA’s non-residential grid tied PV installations accounted for the majority of capacity in 2009. These installations include sites, such as government buildings, military installations, and retail stores. The large average size of these premises requires large installations and results in greater capacity additions. Both non-residential and residential installations are on the customer’s side of the meter and generate power used on-site. Whereas, utility installations are on the utility side of the meter and generate bulk power for the utility grid.

CRISIL Research is releasing this note to explain the impact of the recent earthquake and the subsequent tsunami on the Japanese nuclear facilities, and therefore, on the demand and prices of energy resources such as coal, natural gas and crude oil. CRISIL Research is monitoring the situation continuously and shall provide further analysis in accordance with the developments.
CRISIL Research expects the bulk of the ensuing power deficit to be covered by coal and gas-based plants. The incremental gas demand is likely to push up spot liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices from around US$9 per mmBtu to US$13-14 per mmBtu in the next 3 months. Germany’s recent decision to shut seven atomic power reactors (7.4 GW) for 3 months in the wake of the Japanese crisis and the resultant increase in gas demand would drive a rise in prices in the short term. While non-coking coal prices are likely to rise marginally because of incremental demand, coking coal prices are expected to fall owing to the temporary shutdown in steel capacities in Japan. Global crude oil prices, however, are unlikely to be affected due to limited impact on global trade dynamics.
