As nations intensify efforts to transition toward sustainable energy sources, solar panels have emerged as a central player. These devices convert sunlight into electricity using semiconductor materials and are composed of multiple interconnected solar cells. Key types dominating the global market include crystalline silicon and thin-film technologies, deployed across remote power systems, telecommunications, and residential and commercial infrastructures.

⚡ Key Market Drivers: Sustainability, Policy, and Efficiency

The primary force behind the booming solar photovoltaic (PV) panel market is the rapid growth of the solar energy industry itself. There’s been a marked surge in solar panel installations in diverse applications—from power generation to transportation and water heating—boosting demand worldwide.

Governments are also playing a pivotal role. For instance, in 2019, the U.S. introduced a solar tax credit, allowing a 30% reduction in the cost of solar energy system installation. Such incentives have proven instrumental in accelerating adoption rates.

Additionally, the market is benefiting from:

📉 Decreasing costs of solar panel equipment

🚀 Continuous improvements in energy conversion efficiency

🔬 Technological advancements in solar manufacturing

These factors combined are making solar power more affordable and accessible across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

🧪 Crystalline Silicon Dominates by Technology

In 2020, the crystalline silicon segment accounted for a commanding 86.8% of the global solar PV panel market. Its popularity is due to high efficiency rates, longevity, and better suitability for commercial applications when compared to thin-film alternatives.

As energy needs increase and sustainability becomes a core corporate and governmental focus, demand for crystalline silicon panels—especially for residential, commercial, and industrial use—is set to remain high.

🔌 On-Grid Systems Lead in Grid Type Segment

By grid type, the on-grid segment emerged as the largest revenue contributor, accounting for 92.5% of the market in 2020. On-grid solar systems feed energy directly into the electricity grid, eliminating the need for storage batteries.

Key advantages driving this segment include:

⚙️ Simplified energy supply integration

💰 Cost efficiency

🏗️ Ease of installation

⚡ Effective handling of high electricity demand

These benefits make on-grid systems the go-to choice for urban and industrial applications, especially where grid access is stable.

🏭 Utilities Dominate End Use, But Commercial & Industrial Rise Fast

The utilities segment led the solar PV panels market by end use in 2020, capturing about 42.8% of the global market share. This dominance is attributed to rising investments in large-scale solar farms, solar parks, and floating solar plants.

Moreover, new developments like:

Decentralized solar projects

Rooftop installations on commercial buildings

Rural electrification initiatives

are boosting the demand in the utilities sector. Simultaneously, the commercial and industrial segment is expected to register the fastest growth with a CAGR of 12.1% during 2021–2030, thanks to corporate ESG goals and high energy savings potential.

🌏 Asia-Pacific Holds the Powerhouse Position

Geographically, Asia-Pacific was the dominant region in 2020, contributing to over 52.5% of the total revenue in the solar photovoltaic (PV) panel market. This growth is driven by a strong presence of key manufacturers and a massive consumer base.

Countries like China, India, Japan, Vietnam, and South Korea have seen a significant rise in solar installations—especially in the residential and utility sectors. These economies are rapidly scaling up renewable energy projects to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and meet climate goals.

Meanwhile, Europe is expected to grow at the fastest pace, with a CAGR of 12.2%. Government mandates for clean energy, smart grid infrastructure, and cross-border solar projects are propelling the region’s solar revolution.

😷 COVID-19 Impact: Temporary Disruptions, Long-Term Resilience

The COVID-19 pandemic temporarily slowed down the solar photovoltaic (PV) panel market in 2020. Lockdowns and supply chain disruptions hindered panel production and installation activities. Countries like Germany, France, and Italy enforced strict measures, causing delays in key solar projects.

However, the post-pandemic recovery is swift, as governments and private sectors double down on renewable energy targets to counter future crises and meet net-zero emissions goals.
