Market Overview:
The global solar photovoltaic (PV) market size reached 1,034.5 TWh in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 2,546.5 TWh by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4% during 2023-2028.
A solar photovoltaic (PV) system comprises solar panels with an inverter and other electrical and mechanical hardware that convert sunlight into electrical energy. It relies on mounting structures that point panels toward the sun for converting direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). It is used to generate clean and green energy and reduce air pollution as well as greenhouse gas emissions. It is highly cost-effective, versatile, easy to install and noise-free with low maintenance costs compared to other renewable energy systems. As a result, solar PV system finds extensive applications in residential and commercial sectors across the globe.
