The Solar Photovoltaic market is expected to grow from USD 168.85 billion in 2022 to USD 294.77 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 5.73% during the forecast period 2023-2032.
Solar Photovoltaic is a renewable energy technology that converts sunlight directly into electricity through solar cells or photovoltaic (PV) panels. This process involves the conversion of sunlight, composed of photons, into an electric current by leveraging the photovoltaic effect. Solar Photovoltaic systems consist of multiple PV panels composed of semiconductor materials such as silicon. When sunlight strikes these panels, the photons transfer their energy to electrons within the semiconductor material, causing them to be released and generate an electric current. This direct current (DC) is converted into alternating current (AC) through an inverter, making it suitable for powering various electrical devices and appliances.
Many governments worldwide are implementing supportive policies and incentives to promote the adoption of solar PV. These include tax credits, feed-in tariffs, and net metering, which encourage investment in solar PV systems and boost market growth. Moreover, ongoing research and development efforts are driving technological advancements in solar PV, such as improvements in efficiency, energy storage, and manufacturing processes. These innovations are anticipated to witness significant opportunities over the forecast period. On the other hand, high installation and maintenance costs, continuous availability of sunlight and lack of proper infrastructure can hamper the market's growth.
This study comprehensively analyses technology, grid type, application, and region. The technology segment includes monocrystalline silicon, thin film, polycrystalline silicon and others. The monocrystalline silicon segment held the highest market share in 2022. Monocrystalline silicon solar cells have demonstrated higher conversion efficiencies than other PV technologies. The manufacturing process for monocrystalline silicon allows for the production of cells with a single crystal structure, which results in higher purity and fewer defects. This purity enables better electron mobility and higher energy conversion efficiency, making monocrystalline silicon panels more efficient in converting sunlight into electricity. The grid type segment is divided into on-grid and off-grid. The on-grid segment registered the largest market share in 2022. On-grid solar PV systems are directly connected to the electrical grid, allowing for the seamless integration of solar power into the existing power infrastructure. This integration enables electricity supply to the grid, which other consumers can utilize and helps meet overall energy demand. On-grid systems benefit from the existing grid infrastructure, reducing the need for additional investments in standalone power generation and storage solutions. The application segment is classified into residential, non-residential and utilities. The utilities segment held the highest market revenue in 2022. Many governments and regulatory bodies have implemented policies and incentives to promote renewable energy adoption, including solar PV, by utilities. Feed-in tariffs, tax credits, and other financial incentives governments provide further encourage utilities to invest in solar PV projects and drive their dominance in the market.
The market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America. The Asia-Pacific region held the highest market revenue in 2022. The Asia-Pacific region has experienced rapid economic growth and industrialization, leading to an increased demand for electricity. As countries in the region strive to meet this growing energy demand, solar PV presents an attractive solution for clean and renewable power generation.
Some of the notable players in the market are First Solar Inc., Tata Power Solar Systems Ltd., Canadian Solar Inc., Wuxi Suntech Power Co. Ltd, Nextera Energy Sources LLC, BrightSource Energy Inc., SunPower Corporation, Vivaan Solar, Waaree Group, Trina Solar, Jinko Solar, JA Solar Holdings Co. Ltd. and Sharp Corporation among others.
