Technology forecasting is an important and critical issue that determines the starting point of
planning and is considered as a management tool directly related to the future. In the
previous research items, the development of renewable energy technologies was of
concern. Moreover, due to the increasing need of countries to produce electricity and facing
the lack of resources, this research focuses on forecasting photovoltaic technology.
Accordingly, in this paper, for technological research in the field of solar energy, the patents …

The research of the main regularities of the technological revolutions following has been
carried out and a quantitative model of the main factors characterizing their course has been
substantiated. The work aims to analyze the patterns of technological revolutions concerning
the growth of human capital and to forecast the characteristics of future revolutions based on
them. It is shown that the dating of technological revolutions is associated with the growth of
human capital through the growth of explicit knowledge and up to 1980 is expressed …
