Abstract

Chapter 7 is about the features of the solar PV sector. After studying the evolution of the sector, its geographic agglomeration and the behaviour of the star scientists, some distinguishing characteristics are defined in terms of innovation divergence and abnormal star-scientist performance which differs significantly from the traditional high-tech industries. By comparing it with the semiconductor sector, it is found that the solar PV sector is a special created-demand-driven high-tech sector, particularly one driven by the demand created by government policies. Three characteristics of the special sector are put forward as proof of its distinctiveness. Whether its distinctiveness is significant enough to be a sub-category of the high-tech sector should be studied further.
