PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Satellite Solar Cell Material Market is projected to exhibit a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.7% during the forecast span from 2024 to 2034. In 2023, the market size was assessed at USD 36.5 million and is projected to reach USD 150.1 million by the completion of 2034.
Satellite solar cell is a specific kind of photovoltaic cell that is designed to transform sunlight into electricity for satellites in space. These cells are designed to be incredibly efficient and resistant to harsh elements of outer space, such as radiation, high temperatures, and impacts from small meteoroids. They are constructed using high-purity silicon or gallium arsenide and covered with advanced anti-reflective coatings as well as protective coverings. In addition, solar panels on satellites are placed in groups and installed on the outer parts of satellites, which allows them to collect the plentiful solar energy present in space. The cells produce electricity which is then used to charge batteries and power the systems on the satellite, thus allowing it to carry out its function.
MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
Satellite solar cell material market is expected to reach USD 150.1 million during the forecast period, due to the rising need for reliable power sources in space missions. These cells are important elements for satellites as they supply the required electrical power for operating different systems and instruments on board. Additionally, with the increase in space exploration efforts, the importance of effective power solutions has become significant. Solar cells on satellites provide a sustainable energy option, thus appealing to space agencies due to their renewability. However, the industry is also facing multiple challenges like high upfront costs associated with implementing these cells.
