Solar PV Market in APAC: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The favorable government regulations is notably driving the solar PV market growth in APAC, although factors such as intermittency of solar PV systems may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the solar photovoltaic cells industry in APAC. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Solar PV Market Driver in APAC
- One of the key factors driving the PV market growth in APAC is the favorable government regulations.
- Governments across APAC support the adoption of solar PV systems by providing incentives, subsidies, and tax benefits to producers and consumers.
- FiT policy in Japan was formulated to encourage investments in renewable energy technologies.
- Governments are also introducing different policies for various types of solar PV installations, such as ground-mounted installations, roof-mounted installations, and the installation of freestanding facilities.
- China is taking cognizance of the depleting fossil fuel resources and the associated carbon emission regulations.
- India is gradually adopting solar energy to achieve its carbon emission targets and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
- India is targeted to achieve 100 GW total installed capacity of solar power by 2022, of which 40 GW is anticipated to come from rooftop solar (RTS) PV systems.
Key Solar PV Market Trend in APAC
-
Advances in thin-film solar PV modules is one of the key PV market trends in APAC that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period.
- CIGS thin films can be easily fabricated on flexible substrates that make them lightweight. Thus, CIGS thin films have the potential to reduce device fabrication and installation costs.
- The beneficial effects of heavy alkali doping ha boosted the performance of CIGS solar cells by over 20%.
- 3D-printed panels are lighter in weight because advanced techniques are developed to print super-thin solar strips.
- The affordability of the technology has made it a good solution in emerging countries that do not have easy access to electricity.
- The advances in thin-film technologies are anticipated to increase the size of the solar PV market in APAC in the coming years.
Key Solar PV Market Challenge in APAC
-
One of the key challenges to the PV market growth in APAC is the intermittency of solar PV systems.
- The intermittent nature of solar PV systems is a significant challenge that affects the adoption of solar PV systems. As when the solar PV system is not at its peak production, a secondary power system such as wind power, a battery, or grid power is needed for power generation.
- The solar PV output is not continuous and depends on several factors such as the degree of shade, panel efficiency, and solar irradiation that vary over the duration of the day and under overcast conditions.
- During the night, solar PVs do not function due to the lack of sunlight.
- Cloudy and rainy weathers also affect the power generation of solar PV systems.
- Solar PVs have an average efficiency of approximately 15%.
- Although solar PV technology is constantly evolving, the conversion rate of solar PVs cannot match that of fossil fuels, which may limit the market growth.
