Solar Panel Market Trends

The solar panel market indicates a strong trend for monocrystalline panels due to their higher efficiency and longevity. Bifacial panels are also being embraced since they use multiple surfaces to maximize energy production. This is particularly relevant for large installations. The growing interest in photovoltaic solutions integrated into buildings and lightweight panels is also notable. With the heightened focus on urban sustainability, the types of solar panels being developed for a range of uses, such as roofs, facades, and portable solutions, are numerous.

Emerging Developments in the Solar Panel Market

The solar panel market developments highlight advancements with perovskite-silicon tandem panels, which disrupt efficiencies associated with solar. There is an increase in research and product development to get these panels to market and produce scale. In addition, panel recycling programs and credits, and the implementations of the circular economy, are a focus for manufacturers. Co-operation partnerships between panel manufacturers, EPC contractors, and energy utility companies are going to reinforce our market penetration and presence across markets.
