The global solar energy market size reached nearly 205.13 GW in 2023. The market is assessed to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% between 2024 and 2032, reaching around 400.22 GW by 2032.
Solar energy is the term used to describe the heat and light emitted by the sun that can be captured and transformed into useful types of energy. It is a form of renewable energy that utilises the sun's immense power as a sustainable and clean source of electricity and heat.
The process of capturing solar energy involves the use of solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels. Photovoltaic cells present in the PV panels are made of semiconductor material, which absorbs some photons from sunlight while others are reflected off the cell. These absorbed are then used to generate electric current through the photovoltaic effect. As the demand for photovoltaic installations rises, storage grid adoption is anticipated to soar, fuelling solar energy market demand along with the need for lithium-ion batteries for solar energy storage.
