Crystalline Solar Collectors Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 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.
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.
