The chips are "riding on the coattails of huge increases in alternative energy installs in 2010," said Robert Castellano, president of the firm. "Renewable, alternative energy technologies continue to grab the attention of private industries and world governments," he added.
For example, the global market for photovoltaic inverters more than doubled in 2010, driven by major European markets. The top 10 suppliers of inverter systems and subsystems were European, the report said.
