NEW YORK (Reuters) - Demand for photovoltaic solar power systems is strong and continues to grow, although the large utility market continues to lag, the chief executive of SunPower Corp said on Wednesday.

Like other makers of the renewable power system, U.S. market leader SunPower has been hoping for strong growth in demand for large-scale, multi-megawatt solar projects, although the country continues to lag European growth.

"Large-scale developments in utility are happening maybe slower than planned," Chief Executive Tom Werner told Reuters at a Lazard Capital Markets energy conference.
