Market Overview:
According to a new report by IMIR Market Research on Global Solar PV Panel Market size was valued at USD 258.32 billion in 2023, and is expected to reach USD 733.8 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 12.3% from 2024 to 2032.
Solar energy is a type of radiant energy produced by the sun, which is harvested by using panels with solar technologies such as crystalline silicon, and thin films. It is a ready substitute being easily applied to the wide majority of stations operating in the nonconventional form and is a clean renewable resource against greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. Solar panels consist of solar cells setting them up in stack-like structure, comprised of silicon instead makes wafers. Besides DC power produced from solar panels, an inverter is needed to convert it to AC power. Such AC power can be utilized in different end uses, for instance, residential, commercial, or even industrial users.
A world-wide solar PV panel market is the outcome of giving utility sector a gradual shift towards renewables. Besides that, green energy that concerns the contaminants which come from an old power generation process is supposed to be one of the crucial factors to increase the solar photovoltaic panel market in the forecast period. On the one hand, effective infrastructure and facilities, are not in place around the world to recover end-of-life solar panel waste materials. But, notwithstanding this, the growing physic crackdown (which deters this kind of waste from being dumped) and the globally increasing awareness campaigns on the recyclability of solar panel materials, should bear good outcomes for the market of solar PV panels during the forecast period. Specific revenue-generating prospects for key players in the solar photovoltaic panel market such as those arising from government activities towards reduction of carbon footprints and increasing investment into renewable energy infrastructure is expected to result in excellent opportunities for the players to maintain their leading market position in the solar photovoltaic panel market in the next few years.
Market Dynamics:
Market Drivers:
Rising Number of Off-grid Areas to Drive the Market Growth.
- Hard-to-reach regions or off-grid regions have very scarce if no access to grid electricity. These parts being dependent on Secondary sources of solar panels which use the energy of sun. Oftentimes the regions in remote and widely isolated places are so large that they are not connected to the main grid. With nearly 1 billion people or more still offline grid in the world, per the World Energy Outlook, pretty much makes it a global phenomenon.
- In the Sub-Saharan Africa, services the urban electrification rate is of 60% while the rate of rural electrification is the one that stand at 14%. It brings the governments of the countries in Sub-Saharan to use the sun as a source of energy to meet electricity demand in rural and urban areas. Forecasts made by the New Energy Finance agency affiliated with Bloomberg indicate that around 1.2 GW of solar photovoltaic power capacity will get installed in the Sub-Saharan region by the end of the year 2021. Therefore, the expanding of off-grid places all over the world also stimulates the demand for the off-grid energy systems, which is, in its turn, aimed to contribute to a steady increase in the segment of off-grid systems market within the predication period.
Rising Investment in Solar Energy to Propel the Market Growth.
- A number of countries recognition of environmental norms is general owing to the fact that environmental awareness is becoming a common thing all over the world. Both of these are the impulses that the power generation corporations have to shift their production scroll and chose renewable resources instead of the eco- and the clean ones. Major regions around the globe are adding more clear energy resources to the mix in an effort to decrease reliance on conventional fuel sources. Solar power is one of the fundamental emerging energy sources in renewables with its ability to replace fossil fuel electricity production.
Market Trends:
Ground-mounted Solar PV to Dominate the Market.
- Last year, the ground panel solar modules (PV) represented about 60% of the global capacity of the solar PV, and the main countries which are driver of the market are China, the United States, Germany, and India.
- The control of ground-mounted solar PV market share can be viewed as a result of certain factors among which the increasing number of utility projects, solar energy objectives and the decreasing costs of solar PV installation belong.
- Nations across the globe can be found starting big-scale solar PV projects in order to avoid the diminishing fossil fuel-based power supply and achieve energy sector diversification.
- In the month of May in year 2023, the wholly-owned subsidiary of British independent power company Savannah Energy Plc, known as Savannah Energy Niger Solar Ltd. purposely on diversifying its renewable energy portfolio, signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) with the government of Niger related to the development of two solar photovoltaic power plants. The power plants installation capacity is to sum up to 200 MW or more by the end of implementation of the project. Buildings of the planned solar power plant will be tied to the electricity network of South-Central Zone of the country. Following this, the projects will be under the sanctions regime at the beginning of next year and will come on stream in around two to three years' time, depending on how quickly they are developed.
- Additionally in US context, utility-scale solar PV have dominated the market in general particularly they placed the largest contribution in 2022 with capacity reaching nearly 60% of the whole market. It has been announced that the next five years, until 2028, will witness 467 solar projects of USD 98 Billion altogether. Moreover, the states in the USA with the top 10 year Ground-mounted solar power investment trend are Texas ($ 27 billons), New York ($ 7 billons), Indiana ($ 6 billons), California ($ 6 billons), Ohio ($ 6 billions), and Nevada ($ 6 billions) according to the ranking.
- Therefore, owing to the above points, the increasing installations of large-scale utility solar PV projects are expected to make ground-mounted solar PV a dominating segment during the forecast period.
Market Restraining Factors:
Land Use Constraints to Hinder the Global Market Growth.
- Solar plants level’s up with them in terms of their capacity; but is distinct enough in that it uses land power generation. The development choice contending with many environmental and technical aspects may get beaten. Installing such a solar system on such land can hinder the conservation areas and be detrimental to the natural atomic garden.
- For maintaining the equality of every land under irrespective to environmental suitability solar photovoltaic plant cannot be set up at wetlands, agricultural land water bodies or forest as it is unstable and unreachable. Huge-scale solar photovoltaic power plants entail a series of problems concerning space, whole transportation networks, proximity of living areas, as well as the distance from the grid. The above mentioned limitations are the reasons contributing to the obstruction of growth of global solar PV market.
Key Industry Developments:
In May 2023, State-owned SJVN Ltd. bagged a 100 MW solar power project worth USD 73.24 Million from Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. SJVN Green Energy Ltd (SGEL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SJVN, participated in an open competitive tariff bidding process followed by e-Reverse Auction (e-RA) organized by Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (RUVNL).
In November 2022, European Energy, a Danish-based developer of solar parks, was set to build a 128.5 MW solar park near Helsingborg in southern Sweden. The plant is expected to produce 175 GWh of electricity annually. Production is scheduled to begin in 2024 after the completion of the project by 2023.
