A study recently conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm, BlueWeave Consulting, revealed that the global photovoltaic rapid shutdown device market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.2% during the forecast period (2022-2028). The global photovoltaic rapid shutdown device market is being driven by several factors including growing investment in renewables, rising demand for solar panels, and growing sales of electric vehicles. Besides this, the rise in infrastructure and rapid urbanization in emerging economies are likely to further propel the growth of the global photovoltaic rapid shutdown device (PVRSD) market during the forecast period.
Increasing investment in solar energy projects is driving the growth of the global photovoltaic rapid shutdown device (PVRSD) market
Solar energy is one of the major renewable energy sources and the investment in solar energy is growing at a brisk pace. In the United States, installations of solar power systems have grown 35-fold to an estimated 62.5GW in 2021, since 2008. According to SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association), over 5,000 significant solar projects are present in the organization database, totaling more than 140 GW of capacity. According to the list enclosed by SEIA, over 73 GW of important solar projects is now operational in the United States and there are 237 solar projects slated for the next five years with a total value of USD 58 billion.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the rapid advancement in technology means that one dollar spent on wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment today produces four times more energy than it does 10 years ago. Countries like China, India, Germany, France, and others have various multi-million dollar solar investment projects lined up for the future. Photovoltaic rapid shutdown devices allow users to shut down the PV solar system quickly and prevent safety hazards and growing investment in solar projects is expected to create a growing demand for PVRSDs in the market, driving the growth of the global photovoltaic rapid shutdown devices market during the forecast period.
Industrial Segment Dominates the Global Photovoltaic rapid shutdown device Market
Based on the end-user, the global photovoltaic rapid shutdown device market is segmented into the residential, commercial, and industrial segments. In 2021, the industrial segment dominated the market and held the largest share owing to the large share of solar installations in the residential segment. According to the the Solar Foundation (SEIA), the utility segment accounted for 60,079.6 MW (MegaWatts) solar installation in 2020, compared to the 19,123.6 MW of residential segment. Additionally, the growing investment in industrial solar power plants is also supporting the large share of the industrial segment in the global photovoltaic rapid shutdown device market.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 affected all the industries around the world and had a severe effect on the photovoltaic rapid shutdown device industry as well. The global photovoltaic rapid shutdown device market registered growth as solar installation reached 138.2 GW in 2020, an increase of 18% from 2019 levels. The market, however, was affected severely by the supply chain issues, cash-flow constraints, low availability of labor, and rapid growth of the COVID-19 cases. The market recovered as borders and markets reopened; however, the growth of the market was adversely affected by the semiconductor shortage in 2021, around the world. The market is expected to register swift growth in the coming years owing to the growing investment in the solar energy sector.
