Abstracts

Solar cell films are also known as thin film solar cells. Solar cells are deposited with one or more thin layers or films of photovoltaic material onto a substrate, such as plastic or metal. Solar cell films are used because of their low thickness, high absorption, low diffusion length, high recombination velocity, cost-efficiency, simple & sophisticated deposition techniques, and most importantly, because of their compatibility with solar energy devices. The global solar cell film market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.6% from 2017 to 2025.

The global solar cell films market is segmented based on component type, connectivity, end-use, and geography. Based on component type, the market is divided into cadmium telluride (CDTE), amorphous silicon (A-Si), and copper indium gallium diselenide. Connectivity-based classification consists of on-grid and off-grid markets. According to end-use, the market is categorized into residential, commercial, and utility markets. Geographic breakdown and deep analysis of each of the aforesaid segments have resulted in the following regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

MARKET DYNAMICS:

Drivers:

• Solar cell films help in reducing carbon footprints, which in turn is anticipated to increase the demand for solar cell films during the forecast period.
• Government support in the form of incentives and subsidies to promote clean energy is projected to increase the market demand for solar cell films in the forecast period.
• Growing demand for sustainable energy is fostering market growth of the solar cell films during the forecast period.

Restraints:

• Low efficiency of second generation photovoltaic (PV) systems are projected to hamper growth of the solar cell films market.
• Lack of awareness about the benefits of solar energy is expected to result in a slowdown of the solar cell film market during the forecast period.

MARKET PLAYERS:

The top players in the global solar cell films market include Heliatek GmbH, Dunmore Corporation, 3M Co., Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., First Solar, Inc., Lucent CleanEnergy, Stion Corporation, Solar Frontier K.K., Kaneka Corporation, and Hanergy Holding Group Ltd.
