Solar PV Market Overview | Sales, Cost and Capacity | Forecast To
2020
“Global Solar PV Market report includes in-depth analysis of industry by
recent technologies, trends, opportunities, challenges, key players and
business strategies considering types, segment and future outlook.”
The global Solar PV Market size is expected to reach 489.79 gigawatts (GW) by 2020. The market
is subject to witness a substantial growth due to the growing demand for sustainable energy
resources, coupled with numerous local government initiatives and schemes to fulfill growing
demand of electricity. Numerous benefits are obtained with the use of solar PV that include
sustainability, reduction in greenhouse gas emission, and low operational cost, are further
spurring the growth of the market over the forecast period. Globally, the solar PV market is
predicted to grow at CAGR of 20.9% in forecast period, providing numerous opportunity for
market players to invest for research and development in the solar PV industry.
The reduction in the cost of photo voltaic module is key reason for growing demand of the solar
PV. In recent years, cost of solar PV module is reduced by more than fifty percent, becoming
major factor for growth of the solar PV industry. The reduction in the cost of the solar PV
modules is credited to the enhancement in material efficiency, manufacturing process, and
financial prudence. Solar PV modules are utilized in industrial, commercial and domestic
purposes due to its flexibility during the installation processes. Rising prices of crude oil,
numerous environmental concerns with the installation of hydro power station, and large
amount of initial cost to set up nuclear power plants and health hazards due to nuclear radiation

are crucial factors for adoption of solar power. Alongside, numerous government initiatives,
schemes and subsidies to promote use of solar powered devices and generation of solar energy
are propelling growth of the solar PV market. A photovoltaic system or PV system uses
photovoltaic to convert solar energy into usable electrical energy. Solar PV system involves array
of solar panels mounted on rooftop, it converts solar energy into DC power. Solar inverter is also
used to convert DC power into variable AC power. Other essential components for solar PV
modules are mountings, electrical cables, and other electronic components for a proper set up.
Solar PV modules also consists of a solar tracking system in order to monitor and improve overall
energy conversion rate and embed advanced battery solutions as reduction in the cost for
storage devices is also on rise. A solar PV module is considered as balance of system (BOS)
because all components associated with the module are easily identified and dost not include
excess of hardware.
Solar PV systems are classified into three major types such as small, rooftop-mounted and
building-integrated systems. These types have variable capacitates ranging from a few to several
tens of kilowatts to hundreds of megawatts. The solar PV system that involves of hundreds of
megawatts are mainly utilized in large utility-scale power stations. The dissimilarity in the three
types of the rooftop solar photovoltaic systems is attributed to the type of inverter used and
number of batteries. Most of the solar powered systems are grid-connected, while rest of them
are further divided into off-grid and standalone systems. PV systems are further categorized
into grid-connected systems, stand-alone systems, off-grid, residential PV systems, utility-based
PV systems, distributed PV systems, centralized systems, ground-mounted systems, and fixedtilt
systems.
