Global Photovoltaic Market Definition

Photovoltaic is the process of conversion of light energy into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells. The conversion process is known as the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic cells are made of semiconductors like Silicon. The non-renewable energy resources are getting exhausted, which is boosting the need for an alternative clean energy source. Moreover, the growing concern about global warming and rising awareness for sustainable development is impacting the growth of solar energy.

Photovoltaics has several benefits, such as no greenhouse gas emissions and no major pollution. They find applications in households, industries, and many government institutions. According to the World Bank, renewable energy consumption accounted for 18 percent of the total final energy consumption in the year 2014. The global energy environment is changing dramatically, and renewable energy is becoming more important in assisting countries in developing modern, stable energy systems.

Global Photovoltaic Market Overview

Renewable energy is playing an increasingly important role in helping countries develop modern, secure energy systems as the global energy landscape undergoes a major transformation. This transition will be aided by lower clean energy costs. The rising population is boosting energy usage across the globe, and growing awareness for achieving a green future through sustainable development is surging the need for solar energy.

Increasing government initiatives and investments in developing sustainable energy sources are further boosting the growth of the Photovoltaic Market. The rapid technological advancements and increasing prices of fossil fuels are major contributing factors to its growth. The World Bank is assisting governments in developing energy structures, developing legal frameworks, and improving policies and regulations, which has paved the way for massive wind and solar power expansion in countries such as India, Morocco, and Turkey.

Photovoltaic systems installation requires large operational lands, causing deforestation, land degradation, and loss of habitats, absence of skilled workers for the installation and maintenance of the photovoltaic cells, and the absence of regulatory frameworks are restraining the growth of the Photovoltaic Market.
