Abstract

Chapter 5 analyses some 4400 US patents on solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies, protecting inventions made in the United States, Japan, Germany, Taiwan, South Korea and other OECD and emerging countries, to find out the spatial distribution of inventors. It is found that there are clusters of solar PV sectors in different countries. With the exception of Silicon Valley, a special cluster with a unique ‘bottom up’ region in the solar PV sector, and government laboratories anchoring PV clusters in Taiwan, a major multinational corporation anchors all other clusters. The clusters are growing in Asia, resilient in the US, and declining in Europe.
