Thin Film Solar Cell Market 2023 | Focuses On Top Companies, Region And Opportunities

Thin-film solar is specifically made by placing one or more layers of photovoltaic material on a surface, such as plastic, glass, or metal. Thin-film utilizes a relatively cheaper substrate which makes it cost-effective as compared to silicon.

Thin Film Solar Cell Market was valued at $11,421 million in 2016 and is estimated to reach $39,512 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 19.4% from 2017 to 2023.

These films are easier to work with and need a lesser quantity of substrate material to absorb light as compared to silicon. Furthermore, several research activities resulted in the increased efficiency of thin-film solar cells, which beat multi-crystalline silicon cells. These cells are ideal for a variety of applications, such as residential and commercial, owing to their non-penetrating peel and installation flexibility. These are also used in large canal waterway solar covers and floating solar reservoir covers to decrease water losses due to evaporation.

The cadmium telluride (CdTe) is the leading type segment, which is the only thin-film solar panel technology that exceeded the cost-efficiency of crystalline silicon solar panels. It possesses the lowest energy payback time as compared to other photovoltaic technologies and environmental concerns related to cadmium are expected to be resolved by recycling it at the end of their lifetime. The utility is the leading end-user segment, occupied more than half of the share in the global market.

The on-grid installation segment dominated the global market, with nearly five-sixths of the total market share, in 2016. On-grid installation is usually cheaper, simpler to install and requires lower equipment costs.

Key Findings of the Thin Film Solar Cell Market:
