Global Solar PV Module Market: Overview

Solar energy is one of the cleanest and most reliable energy resources. The PV module system is comprised of parts including frame, protective material, junction box, and enclosure. The module is an important part of solar-powered energy creation. PV (photovoltaic) system changes light energy and converts it into electricity by means of semiconductor materials. The system operates on a solar panel which comprise of solar cells that generate or create electrical energy. PV module system installation can either be ground-mounted or rooftop mounted.

The prices of solar power and solar energy-related machinery are declining rapidly due to the increasing investments by various government bodies, regulatory incentives & policies, advancements in products & technology, and over supply of parts needed for installation. Grid parity is being attained by several developed nations, and on the other hand, new market opportunities are being created in the developing and emerging countries. Solar PV module systems continue to help in providing affordable, safe, decentralized, and clean electricity to the population.

Global Solar PV Module Market: Growth Factors

The most prominent drivers that lead to an increased demand for PV modules in the global market are the drastic changes in the costs of fossil fuels and surging need for renewable sources of energy. As the degree of urbanization intensifies, the market is likely to gain significant momentum. Moreover, the governments of several countries have been enabling expansion through the introduction of subsidies and reforms especially for the residential sector. The widespread espousal of sustainable energy alternatives coupled with restructuring of power grids have been fortifying the global solar PV module market forecast.

One of the primary growth factors of the global solar PV module market size is the rapidly multiplying demand for electricity across the world. This has led to the emergence of solar utility plants. Since these plants deploy solar PV module solutions, the demand for them is certain to ascend. The alarming volume of carbon footprints has been raising substantial concerns pertaining to the depletion of non-renewable energy resources, especially fossil fuel, and this is likely to translate to increasing demand for cleaner energy technologies such as solar power.
