Hence the demand for BIPV cells has witnessed a significant rise in recent years which in turn contributed to increased sales of Thin Film PV cells. Therefore, rising demand for BIPV cells is expected to drive the demand for the Thin Film cells segment in the coming years as well. Crystalline Silicon Solar PV Panels DominateThe dominance of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) technology in the global PV market has been attributed to its superior qualities, which include high efficiency, reliability, and comparatively low manufacturing costs. Crystalline silicon solar panels, specifically monocrystalline and polycrystalline types, have been widely favored by consumers over an extended period. Polycrystalline silicon panels are composed of numerous crystals, while monocrystalline silicon panels are formed from a single crystal structure. However, both variants employ silicon as the semiconductor material to convert sunlight into electrical energy. The continuous advancements in crystalline silicon technology have been the primary driving force behind the robust growth of the solar PV market worldwide. These advancements have yielded notable improvements in panel efficiency, manufacturing cost reduction, and overall performance enhancement. Consequently, solar PV systems utilizing crystalline silicon panels have become increasingly cost-effective and accessible to a broader customer base, encompassing residential, commercial, and utility-scale installations. Asia-Pacific Accounted for the Major Market DemandAsia-Pacific is driving the demand for solar PV panels due to a combination of factors, including government policies, rising electricity demand, and falling costs. Government policies in many Asian countries promote the use of solar energy by providing subsidies and tax breaks to businesses and consumers who install solar panels. The demand for electricity is also rising rapidly in Asia-Pacific, and solar PV panels are a clean and renewable source of energy that can help to meet this rising demand. Finally, the cost of solar PV panels has fallen significantly in recent years, making them more affordable and accessible to businesses and consumers in Asia-Pacific. According to the Office of energy efficiency & renewable energy 2023 report, In the first 9 months of 2022, solar photovoltaic (PV) installations increased significantly in China (106%) and India (51%) on year-on-year basis.
