Drivers and Restraints
Rising Investments in Solar Power and Increasing Off-grid Areas to Boost Market Growth
Solar PV is a technology that boosts electricity production using solar energy in several off-grid areas. Several people worldwide live without continuous electric supply and facilities. As per the statistics provided by the World Energy Outlook, approximately 1 billion people or more still live without an electric supply. As a result, the development of solar energy is gaining traction. Solar energy is the most readily available source of electricity, which, in turn, may fuel its adoption in off-grid areas. Significant investments in solar energy lead to increased solar PV sales. Energy generation companies focus heavily on the production of solar power and the incorporation of solar energy generation technologies. These factors are likely to drive the solar photovoltaic (PV) market growth.
