The global solar PV market is expected to reach
489.79 GW by 2020, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.
Rising demand for sustainable energy resources coupled with favorable
regulatory policies, is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast
period.
Supportive regulations involving federal subsidy and
incentives expected to be the prime factors impacting the industry growth on a
positive note. Europe has been a major market for solar PV owing to early
adoption of the technology in the region owing to high consumer awareness and
positive government outlook in region.
Increasing demand for renewable energy sources owing to
rising consumer awareness towards cost benefits associated with the technology
is expected to propel growth. Furthermore, depleting fossil fuel resources
coupled with growing demand for durable energy sources is expected to have a
positive impact on the industry growth.
The technology offer low conversion efficiencies as
compared to conversional energy sources including oil and biomass. Furthermore,
the solar PV performance gets affected by various factors including type of raw
material used for solar cell manufacturing, availability of sunlight and solar
PV designs which is expected to hamper its growth over the forecast period.
