Solar Cells Market Growth Drivers
- Key Strategic Initiatives Driving the Solar Cells Market Growth: The solar cells market is growing significantly with the presence of the big and emerging companies globally. These companies are engaged in investing towards the research & development of solar cells for the consumers and reducing the cost of solar system by launching technologically advanced solar products in the market.
- Government Initiatives and Benefits Associated with Solar Systems: Major federal policy changes, such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in August 2022, sparked a wave of new solar investment and brought the solar market close to meeting the industry and the Biden administration's ambitious clean energy goals. The Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO, the US DOE) works to help US residents, companies, and organizations realize solar system potential with resources, research, and funding opportunities.
Solar Cells Market Future Trends
- Vast Untapped Potential of soalr cells across the Globe: Commercial and industrial sites across the globe are prime candidates for distributed solar. Solar cells in residential buildings, supermarkets, warehouses, farms, and other locations could help businesses save money and provide a large supply of clean energy. Solar systems can reduce commercial and industrial buildings' dependence on the grid by up to 80% and save businesses up to 95% on their electricity bills. For example, the roofs of American warehouses have the potential to generate 185.6 TWh of solar power each year - enough to power nearly 19.4 million average homes.
- Integration with Energy Storage: The future of solar cells is closely linked to energy storage solutions, such as lithium-ion batteries. Solar power generation is intermittent, so energy storage is essential to ensure a constant power supply. The growing adoption of solar energy storage systems, particularly in residential and commercial markets, will drive demand for solar cells, as the combination of solar power and storage systems enables consumers to generate, store, and use clean energy efficiently.
Solar Cells Market Opportunities
- Demand from Commercial and Industrial Applications: While residential solar installations have dominated the market, the commercial and industrial sectors are increasingly adopting solar power systems. Large-scale solar projects, such as rooftop solar for factories, shopping malls, and office buildings, are driving growth in the market. Businesses are also motivated by the desire to reduce energy costs and meet sustainability targets, which is increasing the demand for solar cells.
- Rise in Floating Solar Farms: Floating solar systems, which are installed on reservoirs, lakes, and other bodies of water, are an emerging opportunity in the solar cells market. These systems have several advantages, including space efficiency and improved performance due to the cooling effect of water. Floating solar projects are gaining traction, especially in countries with limited land space but abundant water resources.
