Solar Power Market Size And Forecast

Solar Power Market size was valued at USD 167.7 Billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 284.1 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.82% from 2023 to 2030.

Growing demand for renewable energy resources, low-cost options and up-gradation of Solar power technology are acting as the key driving factor for this industry. The Global Solar Power Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Solar Power Market Definition

The amount of the Solar Radiation that strikes the surface of Earth is enough to meet the entire Power requirement across the world. Solar radiation is also known as electromagnetic radiation strikes the surface of Earth. Sunlight contains photons. Photons carry energy that is proportional to the frequency of radiation. These photons are absorbed by the photovoltaic cells. The energy from the photons creates electric charges which move in response to an internal electric field. The movement of the charges generates electricity. There are two types of solar technologies. They are Photovoltaics and Concentrated Solar-Thermal Power (CSP).

Global Solar Power Market Overview

Most of the world’s energy supply comes from the burning of Fossil Fuel. Fossil Fuel-burning causes the emission of harmful Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide emitted creates a blanket outside the Earth. This blanket causes the outside radiation to enter the earth’s surface but prevents the internal heat to go out. As a result, this warms the atmosphere. Globally the temperature is rising every year. This is leading to polar ice melting, severe storms, Climate change etc. There is a growing concern worldwide for this. Several countries are trying to adopt means which can cause less harm to the atmosphere.

The demand for Renewable energy increased by 1.5% in the First Quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019. This increase has mainly been driven by a 3% increase in renewable energy generation through more than 100 GW of solar power and 60 GW of wind power projects completed in 2019. Globally the share of Renewable energy among the world’s entire energy requirement increased to 28% in 2020 up from 26% in 2019. The share of Solar power and wind power reached9% in 2020. Thus, the need for Renewable sources is acting as a major driving factor for this industry.

One of the most important drivers for this industry is the high cost of Fossil Fuel energy production. On the other hand, the need for renewable energy resources, growing efforts to reduce Global Warming coupled with lucrative Government incentives are reducing the price of Solar energy production. This reduction in the price is giving a huge impetus for the acceptability of Solar Energy.

Commercial Solar power plant was first built in 1980. As the price fell, the number of grids connected to Photovoltaic cells increases to millions with the capacity of generating Hundreds of Megawatts. The largest photovoltaic power station is in Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan, India with a power generation capacity of 2250 MW. Thus, the rapid development of technology is also increasing Power Generation making it a more lucrative option.

Global Solar Power MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Solar Power Market can be segmented based on Technology, Application, and Geography.

Solar Power Market, By Technology

• Solar Photovoltaics• Concentrated Solar Powers

Based on Technology, the market is segmented into Solar Photovoltaics and Concentrated Solar Solar Photovoltaics directly convert the Sun’s light into electricity. During the 1980s Concentrated Solar Powers exceeded Solar Photovoltaics because Solar Photovoltaics used expensive methods. Presently the scenario just flipped. One of the reasons is that Solar Photovoltaics can be installed everywhere whereas Concentrated Solar Powers cannot be. Another reason is that Solar Photovoltaics are technologically much more simple than Concentrated Solar Powers.

Solar Power Market, By Application

• Domestic Use• Utility-Scale Solar Projects

Based on Application, the market is segmented into Domestic Use and Utility-Scale Solar Projects. In the case of Utility-Scale Solar Projects, the solar power generated is fed into Grids. Use. Most of the Domestic Uses are based on consumer awareness of using renewable sources of energy. It is based on the Residential Projects made for supplying energy to Homes using Solar power.

Solar Power Market, By Geography

• North America• Europe• Asia-Pacific• Rest of the World

On the basis of Geography, the Global Solar Power Market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the world. Asia-Pacific region is leading in terms of Solar Power Projects. Net Solar Power Capacity in India as of November 2020 was 36.9 GW. Even China also installed many Solar Power Plants. Both India and China are the key drivers among the several countries that are switching to renewable means of Power Generation.
