The global solar PV module market has been witnessing significant growth over the past few years owing to the increasing awareness regarding the environmental hazards of conventional energy sources and focus of various governments towards cleaner sources of energy to fulfill the ever-growing need for electricity across the world. Most countries are promoting solar energy usage through subsidies, tax incentives, and renewable purchase obligations. This has spurred the demand for solar PV modules from residential, commercial, and utility-scale projects. Advancements in solar cell and module technology along with decreasing module prices have further boosted the prospects of solar PV over the forecast period.
Market Dynamics:
The major drivers boosting the global solar PV module market include supportive government policies and declining costs of solar modules. Many governments globally have introduced subsidy schemes, tax breaks, and net-metering policies to encourage the proliferation of renewable energy sources including solar. This has increased the adoption of solar PV across both off-grid decentralized applications and large utility-scale projects. This has improved the competitiveness of solar PV compared to fossil fuels. However, factors such as intermittency of solar power supply and high initial investment pose challenges to market growth. Furthermore, fluctuations in polysilicon price present opportunities for manufacturers to adopt cost-optimization strategies and reduce dependency on polysilicon imports.
