For the best solar power capture, fixed-tilt solar PV systems tilt the system at a set degree. In both industrialized and developing nations, utility-scale PV uses this solar PV technology extensively. The bulk of those built in the US were angled between 20 and 30 degrees. The global market's expansion has been spurred by the increasing use of solar PV systems for the generation of renewable energy in numerous countries throughout the world. Continuous efforts to improve solar PV system performance and efficiency would be advantageous for the fixed-tilt type solar PV industry. Large-scale solar power plant deployment across the globe will shape the market in the ensuing years.
The solar technology breakthrough known as the thin-film photovoltaic module is fast growing its market share in the solar power industry, which is expected to rule the market over the forecast period.
Utility-scale fixed-tilt systems are anticipated to cost USD 0.70 per watt by 2022, creating new opportunities for solar energy that is incredibly affordable. In the upcoming years, this is anticipated to open up a market for fixed-tilt solar PV systems. During the projected period, rising tracking system usage is anticipated to constrain the market for fixed-tilt solar systems.
Globally, governments are promoting the use of renewable energy sources by providing subsidies, incentives, and tax advantages. For instance, the Solar ITC in the US offers both business and residential users who install solar energy systems a 30% reduction in federal taxes. FiT policies have been developed by nations like Australia and China to promote significant investments in renewable technologies. Additionally, the dwindling supply of fossil fuels and the rise in environmental concerns have pushed many nations to embrace solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources. As a result, there are now more solar farms being built, which has raised the demand for BOS, including fixed solar PVs. Over the forecast period, these factors are augmenting the expansion of the fixed-tilt solar PV market worldwide.
One of the key developments in next-generation solar PV module development is the creation of mono PERC and bifacial solar PV modules. Bifacial solar PV modules are more powerful than monofacial solar PV modules because they produce power from both sides of the solar PV module. The adoption of cutting-edge PERC technology boosts productivity and produces a rapid return on investment, which lowers the price of solar PV systems. High electrical output is achieved via the PERC solar cells' tiny pockets in the film, which are designed to absorb as much sunlight as possible. It is anticipated that the mono PERC and bifacial technology integration will lower power loss and improve the operational efficiency of solar PV cells.
Crystalline silicon, thin film, and other products are among the technology-based market segments. Due to the rising number of installations of residential solar equipment, the crystalline silicone sector is anticipated to have the biggest market share over the projection period.
However, because of the equipment's high efficiency and declining cost, the thin film segment is anticipated to increase at the quickest rate during the projected period. Solar cells with light-absorbing layers make up thin-film (TF) solar panels, which are more than 350 times smaller than conventional silicon panels. Since they have an effective semiconductor built right into them and have a small design, they are regarded as the lightest PV cell. Due to their smaller material requirements, thin-film solar cells are less expensive to manufacture than conventional silicon solar cells.
On-grid and off-grid applications are the two divisions of the global market. The on-grid segment had the biggest market share in 2019, however, due to rising off-grid installations in remote locations, the off-grid sector is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period.
Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World are recognized as the top segments by region in the study.
For manufacturers of fixed tilt solar PV, APAC offers lucrative potential for expansion.
