Photovoltaic Market Size, Share, Trends & Forecast Report (2021 - 2026)

The Global Photovoltaic Market is estimated to grow in a significant way during the forecast period. It is expected that the target market that was valued at around $64,773.0 million in 2021 is projected to reach $333,725.1 million by 2026, recording a CAGR of 25.1% from 2021 to 2026. 

Photovoltaic (PV) is a system that is used for the conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials which exhibits the photovoltaic effect. This phenomenon is studied in physics, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. These photovoltaic systems employ solar modules comprising a number of solar cells generating electrical power. Majorly, the installation of PVs may be ground-mounted, rooftop mounted, wall-mounted or floating, whereas, the mount may be fixed or use a solar tracker to follow the sun in the sky.

Photovoltaic energy is produced by the radiation of the sun where it is transformed into electricity by utilizing the photovoltaic cells. This Photovoltaic electricity can be used in powering electrical equipment that was fed into the electricity network for the user or stored in a battery. In the commercial scale of the target market, this photovoltaic technology can get integrated into solar lamps, emergency telephones, parking meters, trash compactors, temporary traffic signs, charging stations, and remote guard posts and signals. Moreover, this technology is also used in solar panels of solar buses and cars for providing electricity to run their motor. In addition, in the agricultural sector, photovoltaic electricity is widely used in solar drying to dry crops faster. Also, for providing power to remote locations, this technology is employed to generate electricity to run water pumps which is also a cheaper option than new electric lines.

Recent Developments

  • Canadian Solar, a publicly-traded company that manufactures solar PV modules and runs large scale solar projects, has raised the fundings about USD 30 million from the China-Portuguese Speaking Countries Cooperation and Development Fund, which is utilized by their solar photovoltaic (PV) modules manufacturer unit, aiming to the development and construction of solar projects in Brazil.
