Floating Solar Panels Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increasing investments in renewable energy is notably driving the floating solar panels market growth, although factors such as technical challenges may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the floating solar panels industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Floating Solar Panels Market Driver

The increasing investments in renewable energy is one of the key drivers supporting the floating solar panels market growth. Advancing from fossil fuels to renewable sources, such as wind and solar, is the key to achieving economic, social, and environmental development. This can be attributed to the low cost required to manufacture PV system components due to technological advances that result in the reduction of the overall capital expenditure per MW of power generation. Several countries have been adopting renewables as the primary energy source. For instance, Mindanao, the Philippines, is witnessing an uptrend in renewable energy projects. Jose Layug Jr., the chairman of the National Renewable Energy Board, the Philippines, announced that the power mix of Mindanao is composed of 40% renewables, and the rest is non-renewables. This mix is likely to increase further, where the share of renewables is expected to grow during the forecast period. 

Key Floating Solar Panels Market Trend

The increasing conversion efficiency of solar PVs is one of the key floating solar panels market trends that is contributing to the market growth. At present, solar panels have a very low conversion efficiency rate when compared with other renewable energy technologies which have more than 30% generation efficiencies. Companies such as SunPower are focusing on enhancing the efficiency of solar panels. The company claims that its E-series panels have a maximum conversion rate of around 22.2%. As the floating solar panel does not heat much due to the presence of the surrounding water, the overall conversion rate of the system is high.  Moreover, as the technology is improving, the installation cost for the entire PV system is likely to reduce. Thus, higher conversion efficiency coupled with decreasing prices of PV systems will affect the floating solar panels market positively during the forecast period. 

Key Floating Solar Panels Market Challenge

Technical challenges is one of the factors hindering the floating solar panels market growth. Some technical challenges affect factors, such as the cost component, while some, such as corrosion, affect the strength of the component in use. Due to the low efficiency of the solar PV system, the cost associated with the required number of solar panels and other associated components is high. Though the technology is constantly evolving, the conversion rate of solar PVs is no match for the amount of energy generated by burning fossil fuels. These technical challenges will limit the floating solar panels market growth during the forecast period.

This floating solar panels market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis

n 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) disrupted various verticals of industries, including the renewable energy industry. However, the resumption of operations in manufacturing hubs after the lifting of nationwide lockdowns and the shifting preference toward sustainable power sources may proliferate the growth of floating solar systems and drive the growth of the regional floating solar panels market during the forecast period. 

What are the Revenue-generating Product Segments in the Floating Solar Panels Market?

To gain further insights on the market contribution of various segments Request for a FREE sample

The floating solar panels market share growth by the stationary floating solar panels segment will be significant during the forecast period. Stationary floating solar panels have a lower conversion efficiency than tracking floating solar panels due to their limited exposure to the sun. However, tracking solar panels have a higher cost associated with them than stationary floating solar panels. For a tracker to be economically viable, the additional cost of installing and maintaining the tracker over the lifetime of the system should be lower than the increased energy harvest from the solar PV system. In such projects, stationary solar panels are found to be more appropriate, especially in emerging and developing economies. Such factors will drive the segment growth during the forecast period.

This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the floating solar panels market size and actionable market insights on post COVID-19 impact on each segment.
