  Rising demand for green hydrogen propels market growth

  
  

The increasing demand for green hydrogen is driving the market CAGR for solar hydrogen panels. Green hydrogen is made entirely from renewable sources. Green electricity or power can be transformed into transportation fuel or used as a feedstock in industrial activities by using green hydrogen as a connection. Green hydrogen and derived fuels, such as green ammonia, will allow market participants to integrate wind energy into the fuel tank of a cargo ship. As a result, hydrogen has the potential to significantly boost renewable energy's decarbonization potential. The most abundant element on the world, hydrogen, has tremendous creative potential. It has the potential to be employed as a fuel or energy source, as well as a raw material in the industrial sector.

In addition, as nuclear and green hydrogen fuels become more widely used, the green hydrogen sector is expanding. Hydrogen fuel cells have been discovered to be more efficient than traditional combustion-based power plants. According to the US Department of Energy, a typical combustion-based power plant has an efficiency of 33 to 35%, compared to up to 60% for hydrogen-based fuel cell systems. The solar hydrogen panel market is predicted to rise quickly as a consequence of increased demand for environmentally friendly hydrogen generation, owing to the convenience and comfort of producing vast amounts of hydrogen in the panels without the need for any further procedure.

Moreover, concerns about carbon emissions and warming are growing. Governments all around the world have put in place a variety of policies and regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions from diverse sectors. Electrolyzers produce hydrogen by electrolysis, which is the process by which water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. Electricity is created from either renewable or nonrenewable resources. For instance, ITM Power, based in the United Kingdom, established a joint venture with ITM Linde Electrolysis GmBH in January 2020. The firms will produce green hydrogen on a large scale using a PEM electrolyzer with a capacity of more than 10 MW.

Solar Hydrogen Panel Market Segment Insights:

Solar Hydrogen Panel Technology Insights

The solar hydrogen panel market segmentation, based on technology includes amorphous silicon solar cells, nano-solar cells, platinum-loaded barium tantalum oxynitride. Nano solar cells segment dominated the market, accounting for 35% of market revenue in 2022. Nano solar cells with a nanocrystal layer on the substrate. The nano solar cells are normally made of silicon, CdTe, or CIGS, while the substrates are typically made of silicon or other organic conductors. Quantum dot solar cells are a version of this method that uses quantum mechanical processes to improve performance. Another option is dye-sensitized solar cells, but in this instance the nano-structuring is built into the substrate.

Solar Hydrogen Panel End-User Insights

The solar hydrogen panel market segmentation, based on end-user, includes residential, industrial, mobility, agriculture and others. In terms of value, the mobility category has the largest share of the solar hydrogen panel market. This is because hydrogen contains three times as much energy per unit as fossil fuels. Before the commercialization of fuel cell-based engines, the transportation industry had no viable alternatives to fossil fuels. Fuel cell electric vehicles, on the other hand, offer a long-term solution. Solar hydrogen panels are a viable and feasible option for the car business.

Major players in the solar hydrogen panel market, such as Sun Hydrogen Inc, Suzhou GH New Energy Co Ltd, Flux50, and Schmid Group, among others, are seeking to raise market demand by investing in research and development operations.

Uniper SE is a German energy corporation headquartered in Düsseldorf. The company's name is a combination of the words "unique" and "performance," as suggested by long-term employee Gregor Recke. Uniper was founded by separating E.ON's fossil fuel holdings into a distinct business, which commenced operations on January 1, 2016. In over 40 countries, the company employs over 11,000 people. One-third of the workforce is based in Germany. It has a subsidiary in Russia called Unipro. Uniper is a company that is traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In April 2020, Siemens Gas and Power and Uniper SE have established a collaboration to develop projects that generate and use green hydrogen from renewable energy sources.

Fluxys is a Belgian firm that primarily operates natural gas transportation systems. It employed approximately 850 people in 2004, and its infrastructure included approximately 3,700 km (2,300 mi) of pipelines and a port in Zeebrugge, Belgium. The company is traded on the Euronext Brussels exchange. The corporation was formed in 2001 when Distrigas was split into two organizations (one of which retained the name Distrigas). Suez held up to 57.25% of Fluxys shares prior to its 2008 merger with Gaz de France to establish GDF Suez (now Engie), but was forced to cut its position to appease the European Commission for Competition.
