Solar Panel Market Research Report- Forecast to 2023

1 Summary Solar panel power generation is less polluting and produces less carbon emissions when compared with traditional conventional energy sources such as coal, oil and petroleum. Solar power generation is helping in the fight against climate change as well as it is acting as a source of power for remote and off grid areas where still millions of global population lives. However, the growth of the market can be hindered by the low power generation capacity of the solar panels and increasing stringent regulations on the land used for solar power generation sites.

Solar Panels Market is expected to grow with the CAGR of approximately 20.18% during the forecast period.

Key Players: The key players of solar panel market are Trina Solar Limited (China), Canadian Solar Inc. (Canada), Jinko Solar Holding Co., Ltd. (China), JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (China), Hanwha Q CELLS Co., Ltd., (South Korea), ABROS green GmbH (Germany), Yingli Solar (China), SunPower Corporation (U.S.A), Abengoa Solar (Spain), eSolar, Inc. (U.S.A).

Market Overview

This photovoltaic effect is created by the flow of electrons inside the module, which can be maximized by the increased hours of exposure to sunlight. Solar panels have been dominating the renewable energy market in recent years because of the ability of solar power to reach grid parity as conventional energy resources and technological development.

Solar panel is the panel intended to entrap the sun's rays as a source of energy to generate electricity and heat. It diminishes the amount of electricity produced from fossil fuels by supplying the operations with clean, renewable energy from the sun. Solar panels are also called photovoltaic or PV modules as they directly transform sunlight into electricity. The sun produces enough energy daily to supply 10,000 times the current worldwide electrical needs. Solar Photovoltaic panels are coupled assembly of solar cells with a typical 6x10 dimension that generate and supply solar electricity for commercial and residential applications. They are also extensively used for powering electronic devices, individual gadgets, and vehicle batteries. Installing solar panels on a typical house roof can cut down the household’s carbon footprint by an average of 35,180 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

Solar Panel Market Research Report- Forecast to 2023

3 Market Research Analysis In the last five years (2011-2016), solar PV registered 34.1% average annual growth rate and CSP achieved 22%. Currently, the market for solar PV is bigger than CSP, mainly due to huge investment, research and development, and initiatives taken by the government. However, CSP technologies are expected to grow at a faster rate in future as new markets such as China, India, Brazil, Canada, Germany, and France open up. At the end of 2016, cumulative installed capacities of CSP and solar PV were 4.8 GW and 303 GW, respectively.

Asia-Pacific is the biggest solar power market; followed by Europe and then North America. China alone shares almost 44% of new solar PV capacity. Spain remained the global leader in existing CSP capacity, with 2.3 GW till the end of 2016, followed by the United States with just over 1.7 GW. These two countries still accounted for over 80% of global installed capacity.
