Solar PV Market To Reach 489.8 GW By 2020: Grand View Research, Inc.
The global solar PV market is expected to reach 489.8 GW by
2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing push for
sustainability has led to increased focus on renewable energy forms such as
solar PV. In addition, favorable regulatory policies such as Feed in Tariff
(FIT) is expected to further increase installed capacity, particularly along
the Sunbelt countries. The reduction in price of PV modules is expected to
lower the cost of energy generated by solar PV to USD 0.07 – USD 0.16, making
it competitive to oil or gas fired peak power plants.
Countries with large PV potential such as Brazil,
Chile and Saudi Arabia have not expanded as expected and this is expected to
hamper the development of the market over the next six years. Aggressive
capacity addition, particularly in China is expected to make the market
oversupplied resulting in further lowering of prices. Product differentiation
and innovation is extremely crucial with companies diversifying in both
upstream and downstream markets, with expansion in project development and
building strategic partnership. There are widespread opportunities in the form
of new emerging markets and the link between reduced prices and unlocking of
new markets is expected to be the key to market development.

Further
key findings from the report suggest:
- Utility scale solar PV was the largest end use
segment for the solar PV market and accounted for over 45% of the global
installed capacity. This segment is also expected to witness fastest
growth on account of the growing need for power coupled with competitive
prices offered by solar PV modules for power generation.
- The use of solar PV for non residential
application is also expected to show significant growth over the next six
years with major Sunbelt countries looking to harness the potential of
solar energy and employ it as a substitute to conventional forms of
energy. The segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 20% from 2013 to
2020.
- Europe had the largest installed base of solar
PV in 2012 primarily due to installations in countries such as Germany,
Italy, Spain and France. The total installed capacity for Europe exceeded
70 GW as of 2012. However, the region is expected to lose share owing to
the rapid development of solar PV market in China and countries of Asia
pacific such as India, South Korea, Taiwan and Australia.
- China is expected to show the fastest growth
over the next six years due and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 35%
from 2013 to 2020. The regulatory support in the country in addition to
the low cost of raw materials is expected to fuel the aggressive
development.
- Yingli Green Energy (China) and First Solar
(USA) are two of the largest companies operating in the market. The other
key companies manufacturing solar PV systems include Canadian Solar,
Sharp, REC, Trina Solar and Hareon Solar among others.
