Crystalline Silicon Solar PV Modules Market: Market Dynamics
Key Drivers
Favorable government regulations regarding the use of fossil fuels are a key factor driving market growth. This is due to the various government support to consumers and producers through subsidies, tax breaks, and incentives. Furthermore, many other countries are developing policies to encourage the development of solar energy technologies. Feed-in Tariff (FiT) policy is launched to encourage investment in renewable energy-related technologies and includes reduced sun exposure, eligibility criteria, bonuses, and various other subsidies. Hence, these government initiatives are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Major Trends
Increased adoption of microgrids is a major trend in the market. A microgrid is a little power framework with its own generation and storage resources. Microgrids can work on their own or with other small power grids. When a microgrid is incorporated into the main power grid, it is known as a hybrid microgrid. Furthermore, they are considered more reliable as they are not affected by main power failures and reduce the cost of extending the network in remote areas such as villages.
Significant Challenges
The rise in alternative sources of energy is a significant challenge restricting market growth. The main reason is the cost of setting up a renewable energy farm to generate electricity is very high. Furthermore, the amount of electricity which is generated from renewable energy sources is very less as compared to fossil fuels. Reducing the cost of natural gas can help in increasing the amount of electricity generated from natural gas. This is the main issue for the vendors in the market. Hence, these factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
