A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells. It is manufactured from the collection of solar cells made using silicon, boron, and phosphorus, which are arranged in a grid-like pattern on the surface. The panel is made of glass, plastic, and metal materials to efficiently absorb the sun’s rays. A solar panel is widely used in power systems for remote sensing systems, telecommunication equipment, cabins, and residential and commercial solar systems. It relies on mounting structures that point panels toward the sun to convert the direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). As compared to conventional panels, solar panels are highly cost-effective and versatile, reduce dependence on traditional sources of electricity, and help minimize the carbon footprint.

Solar panels are installed on surfaces or rooftops with access to direct sunlight and require minimum to no maintenance. The utilization of solar panels has increased across the globe as they reduce dependence on conventional sources of electricity, help to minimize the carbon footprint, and combat the harmful emissions of greenhouse gases.

The increasing demand for renewable power sources is one of the key factors driving the market growth. In line with this, the growing awareness of the negative impacts of greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants on the environment has led to an increasing demand for renewable energy sources such as solar power. Moreover, the widespread product adoption in the residential sector for grid-connected electricity generation is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the introduction of solar panels with an anti-reflection coating that reduces reflection and increases light absorption of solar cells is providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the rising environmental concerns and the increasing demand for alternative energy sources that do not contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the introduction of ultrathin solar panels, which are lighter and more flexible than glass-based variants, is positively influencing the market growth. These ultrathin solar panels are superior to conventional solar panels in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness and can be integrated into any surface. Besides this, the implementation of various government initiatives to encourage the use of solar panels by offering incentives for solar energy projects and spreading awareness among consumers through several programs and campaigns is creating a positive outlook for the market. Other factors, including significant expansion in the electrical industry, various technological advancements to increase efficiency and durability, and enhanced research and development (R&D) activities, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
