Crystalline Solar Collectors Market to Observe Strong Development by 2024
Increasing
demands for clean energy is a major reason for the globally growing
utilization of solar energy. Innovations in the development of the
photovoltaic (PV) cells played a major role in capturing solar energy
efficiently. PV cells can be combined in collector panels which
convert solar energy into electrical energy through the photoelectric
effect. Commercially crystalline silica and its oxides are used to
manufacture PV cells. Silicon is abundantly present all around the
world and is an environmentally safe element, and thereby the ideal
choice. Crystalline solar PV collectors are mostly used in the
industrial and residential sectors. Numerous innovations are also in
progress to improve the efficiency of PV cells made from crystalline
silicon so as to tap solar energy efficiently. Monocrystalline
silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and amorphous silicon are major
types of silicon presently used. Other materials which can be
employed for this purpose are cadmium telluride and copper indium
gallium selenide/sulfide.

Report Overview @
A
majority of the world’s PV solar collectors are based on different
variations of silicon used in PV cell manufacturing technologies
which distinguished them as monocrystalline and polycrystalline PV
cells. These solar cells are made out of cylindrical silicon ingots
which are further modified to make silicon wafers. Monocrystalline PV
cells are made from an extremely pure form of silica which exhibits
prominent solar conversion efficiency. Polycrystalline silicon solar
cells are manufactured from less pure silicon and are therefore less
efficient. Multiple types of solar collectors have been developed
recently to improve the efficiency of solar energy collection such as
thin-film solar cells, amorphous silicon (a-Si) collectors, cadmium
telluride cells, copper indium gallium selenide-based collectors, and
organic photovoltaic collectors. The main advantages of thin film PV
collectors are their relatively low consumption of raw materials,
high efficiency, reduction in sensitivity on overheating, improved
integration & appearance, and excellent performance at high
ambient temperatures. Their current drawbacks are their limited solar
conversion efficiency and the industry’s inadequate experience with
lifetime performance.
A
few recently developed solar collection technologies include solar
thermoelectricity systems, dye sensitized solar cells and
concentrated photovoltaic collector systems which may hold a
significant share in the solar energy market if they become
competitive enough to be commercialized.
The
annual global production of solar energy is estimated to reach over
500GW by the end of 2020 (from 40 GW in 2013) which indicates that
the global crystalline solar collector market is expanding rapidly
displays excellent potential. China and Germany are the leading
countries in terms of solar PV collectors and account for an
installed capacity of more than 37 GW. The market is burgeoning in
South East Asia due to growing energy demands and strict global
environmental norms. Decreasing costs of PV cells, uncertainties in
the global oil & gas industry, and advanced technological
innovation are helping make solar panels smaller, cheaper and more
customer friendly thereby attracting several countries to adopt them
in their energy replenishment programs.

Major
restraints for the crystalline solar PV collector market are the
reduced solar conversion efficiency of the existing PV cells and use
of modern crystalline materials which are expensive and toxic for the
environment. Efforts are being taken to increase their efficiency of
solar collectors through new technological breakthroughs such as
nano-crystalline solar cells, thin-film processing, metamorphic
multijunction solar cells, and polymer processing to propel the PV
solar collector industry. Key global players in market include Wuxi
Sutech Power Co., Ltd., First Solar Inc., Juwi Solar, Inc., Yingli
Solar, Sharp Solar Energy Solutions Group, BP Solar, and Canadian
Solar Inc. Major Indian manufacturers are SunFuel, SSL Ltd, and
Emmvee Photovoltaic. PV is projected to produce about 10% of world’s
electricity by 2030. The Market’s future prospects appears to be
promising and it is poised to be a major contributor in energy
replenishment of the world in the near future.
