Solar Photovoltaic Market to Witness Rise in Revenues By 2030

Description
The global solar photovoltaic market size is estimated to grow from USD 79.6 billion in 2021 to USD 129.86 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2021 to 2027. The pressing need for alternative sources of power generation is increasing throughout the world on account of the detrimental environmental impact of fossil fuel power generation. Solar power generation has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years on account of associated environmental benefits and the government's policy to penetrate clean power generation in the energy mix.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is entering a new era and accounts for the most significant annual capacity additions for renewables, well above wind and hydro, for the next five years. The continuous technology cost reductions and the increasing growth in China, owing to policy changes and the growing focus on achieving various capacity targets, are expected to contribute to the increase in the solar PV market during the forecast period.

Wind and solar PV power are expected to drive the strong growth in renewable energy, while hydro is likely to remain a key source. Solar and wind together are expected to produce more than 50% of the total generation in Australia, Germany, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. By 2050, solar PV, wind, and hydro are estimated to produce approximately 80% of the global electricity generation. Furthermore, globally, the shift towards renewables, such as solar and wind, is primarily due to the plummeting costs in recent years.

Global Solar Photovoltaic Market Dynamics
Drivers: Declining costs of solar PV system
The solar industry has cut costs dramatically in the past six years through economies of scale. As the market was flooded with equipment, prices plummeted. The cost of solar panels is dropping exponentially.

The cost reductions are driven by continuous technological improvements, including higher solar PV module efficiencies. The industrialization of these highly modular technologies has yielded impressive benefits from economies of scale and greater competition to improved manufacturing processes and competitive supply chains. The overall decline in the solar PV system costs can also be attributed to the effective feed-in tariff programs in Germany, etc.

Rapid declines in installed costs and high capacity factors have improved the economic competitiveness of solar PV around the world. The global weighted average LCOE of utility-scale PV plants is estimated to have fallen by 73% between 2010 and 2017, from around USD 0.36 to USD 0.10/kWh.

The LCOE of solar PV plants is currently below coal-fired plants for new generation build and is projected to undercut a typical combined-cycle gas turbine in the next five years. Thus, the improved cost-effectiveness associated with batteries or modules is expected to benefit the utility solar PV market on a larger scale.

Restraints: High initial cost of investments required
Although the cost of producing photovoltaic devices continues to fall across the globe, the rate of solar PV adoption is not as rapid as expected. Although there are numerous socio-technical and regional policy challenges in place, the economic factor of the high initial cost of investments required to set up a solar PV plant acts as a significant restraint. Apart from the costs of the solar PV modules, expenses such as high installation cost, operation cost, maintenance and repair costs, and the low costs of competing sources of energy also add to the cost of investments required for solar PV installations. Installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) array is not only an environmental-specific decision but also a financial decision as well. Irrespective of the decreasing cost of equipment, the cost of permits and labor and the installation of solar PV with challenging and complex orientation adds a great deal to the final installation costs.

Opportunities: Hybrid solar
Although the market for solar power is already growing exponentially with increasing environmental awareness and favorable government policies, there has been a constant debate over the reliability and stability of solar energy, mainly due to lack of irradiation at night or on overcast cloudy days. With the continuous increase in power requirements and environmental policies and regulations getting stricter, discouraging the use of conventional fuel for power generation, the need for environmentally friendly power solutions with reliable power performance is increasing. Furthermore, numerous regions across the globe, particularly in remote areas, cannot be sufficiently supplied by large, central power plants, and hence, have become dependent on distributed power generation.

The usage of hybrid solar power plants, which were initially developed as energy systems that combine conventional fuels, such as diesel with solar power, solar PV, and solar CSP technologies, has gained momentum. The main advantages of solar PV-engine hybrid power plants are their ability to achieve the same reliability and stability as a standard thermal plant, making them an exciting solution for small grids and island mode or off-grid locations. Furthermore, stand-alone solar PV systems and stand-alone wind power systems are widely famous in individual terms for power generation in an environmentally friendly manner. However, both independent power sources have restrictions and cannot provide a continuous source of energy. Integrated renewables-based hybrid power systems, i.e., integration of wind and solar PV systems, are also expected to gain enormous momentum in the forecast period.
