This program, developed by VLSI Research on behalf of IPVEA, collects monthly sales and billings data on PV manufacturing equipment worldwide. The information is collected in a confidential manner and prepared on an aggregate basis in such a way that the data cannot be attributed to individual companies.

 IPVEA members will receive a consolidated report sent by email. Respondents to the survey who are not members of IPVEA will receive a summary of the results covering the period for which they participated.
 In addition, general statistics will be made available to the industry through IPVEA press releases. A full report with commentary and further analysis is available through subscription to VLSI Research’s PV Manufacturing Equipment Database.  

 VLSI Research is endeavoring to represent the entire PV Manufacturing Equipment market so estimates will be added for companies who did not respond. By capturing this data monthly, each IPVEA member can track the performance of their own company against the market as a whole. Currently the program covers 8 segments and 7 regions.
