Perovskite Solar Cell Market Dynamics
Driver : Various advantages of perovskite solar cells over traditional solar cells
Perovskite solar cells have competitive power conversion efficiencies (PCE) with the potential for higher performance than traditional solar cells. Perovskite solar cells can convert sunlight into electricity even if the sunlight is indoor, outdoor, or if the light is artificial. A few of the benefits of perovskite solar cells are that the cells are much cheaper to fabricate than traditional solar cells and thinner. Perovskite solar cells offer better efficiency in low and variable lights and have better spectral absorption.
Restraint: Presence of toxic substances in perovskite solar cells
Perovskites have a crystal structure like the perovskite mineral, which consists of calcium titanium oxide (CaTiO3). When the perovskite cell breaks down, it produces toxic substances called Pbl, which affects the human respiratory system. This substance also contains lead, which can affect the environment by contaminating air, water, and soil. The harmful effects of perovskite solar cells, hence, act as a restraint for market growth.
Opportunity : Rising investments and funding in development of perovskite solar cells
The solar industry has witnessed various fast-paced technological developments in the past few years. Perovskite is the newest solar material with a crystal structure suitable for solar absorption. Perovskite cells also work better than silicon at lower lighting intensities, on cloudy days, or indoors, thus enabling higher conversion efficiency. The main benefit of making solar cells from perovskite is that the material is cheap and abundant and can produce low-cost solar power. As perovskite solar cells have benefits over traditional cells, companies in the solar cell industry are working to develop the cell and make it commercially available by 2024. The companies working on developing perovskite solar cells are raising funds for research and innovations. For instance, in January 2021, Microquanta Semiconductor announced a Series C round of funding. Lead investors include Three George Capitals, Beijing Energy Holding, and Quzhou Financial Holding. This funding will be used for the 100 MW production line expansion of the perovskite tandem project. Similarly, in November 2020, Oxford PV was funded by the Brandenburg Ministry of Economics as part of the EU’s Regional Development Program. The grant was used in perovskite solar cell manufacturing. Continuous funding for research and development of perovskite solar cells is creating growth opportunities for the market players.
Challenge: Stability and efficiency of perovskite solar cell
Perovskites can decompose when they react with moisture and oxygen or when they spend extended time exposed to light, heat, or applied voltage. The perovskite research and development (R&D) community is highly focused on improving operational lifetime and is working on multiple approaches to understand and improve stability and degradation. The research is going to decrease the reactivity of the perovskite surface, and finding alternative materials for formulations of perovskite materials.
Residential vertical to account for the highest CAGR in the perovskite solar cell market by 2028
The perovskite solar cell industry for the residential vertical is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In the residential vertical, perovskite solar cell-based PV systems are expected to be installed on the rooftop or at locations where adequate sunlight is available to fulfill the home electricity needs.
Solar panel segment to account for the largest market share by 2028
Solar panels help in generating electricity from solar energy. The solar panel works so that when photons present in the light hits the solar cell, it loses the electrons from its atoms. Proper attachment of conductors on the positive and negative sides of a cell can transform the whole into an electrical circuit. Electrons flowing through the circuit help in generating electricity. Currently, solar panels are mostly made up of silicon material. Constant research and development projects have been set up worldwide on perovskite solar cells to check the material’s performance, efficiency, and operational life. Perovskite solar cells are expected to be commercialized by 2024.
Asia Pacific to grow at the highest CAGR in the perovskite solar cell market during the forecast period
The perovskite solar cell market in Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2024 to 2028. The global market players are experiencing increased demand for solar cells from countries such as China, Japan, India, and South Korea. India and China are the major contributors to the growth of the regional market due to the expanding solar cell market in the countries.
