The global demand for Thin-Film PV Modules Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD XX MN by 2028 from USD XX MN in 2021 with a CAGR of XX% under the study period 2022 - 2028.
Thin film photovoltaic modules, also known as tiny film solar cells, are made by depositing thin layers of photovoltaic material (up to 20 times lighter than average C-Si films) on a supporting material and covering them with a transparent conductive oxide layer (TCO). These thin film photovoltaics (PVs) modules employ the photovoltaic effect to convert radiant energy from sunshine to electrical energy. Thin-film PV modules are used in large-scale solar farms as well as building integrated photovoltaic applications (BIPV) because they provide low-cost power per watt. They provide steady power not just at high temperatures but also on cloudy days and at low sun angles, and they are flexible enough to be mounted on curved surfaces and BIPV.
Market Dynamics
The market for thin film photovoltaics modules is fueled by governments' efforts to minimise greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and hence reduce their carbon footprints by increasing the amount of renewables in their energy mix. The demand for thin-film PV modules increases as more people become aware of the importance of promoting renewable energy (RE), particularly solar energy, which is greener, more sustainable, and safer to use. Solar PVs, both standard c-Si and thin film PVs, are in high demand due to this. Even though thin-film PVs have a lesser market share than typical C-Si PVs due to their lower efficiency, much research and development are being done to improve the thin-film PV module's efficiency and deployability.
