What is a Solar PV Module?

A solar photovoltaic (PV) module is a packaged, connected assembly of photovoltaic solar cells, mounted in a framework for installation. These panels use sunlight to generate direct current (DC) electricity, forming the backbone of solar power systems for residential, commercial, and utility-scale applications.

Arrays of PV modules can supply significant solar electricity to homes, offices, industries, and even remote areas without grid connectivity.

Key Drivers of Growth 🔋

The expansion of the solar PV module market is supported by a surge in renewable energy development across Asia-Pacific and LAMEA, largely driven by increasing electricity demand and favorable government policies. Some of the primary market drivers include:

Supportive policies like domestic content laws and investment tax credits (ITC)

Decreasing cost of solar PV technology, making it viable for mass adoption

Rising fossil fuel prices, creating a compelling case for renewable alternatives

Utility-led solar deployments to meet peak energy demand in regions like the U.S.

Rapid urbanization and industrialization, especially in emerging economies

However, challenges such as grid connection issues, interconnection delays, and insufficient grid capacity can hinder growth.

COVID-19 Impact and Recovery Path 📉➡📈

The COVID-19 pandemic temporarily disrupted the solar PV module supply chain, especially due to factory shutdowns in China, which dominates global module manufacturing. For instance, India—dependent on China for 80% of its solar equipment—faced substantial delays during the early months of the pandemic.

Despite these setbacks, the market has shown resilience and is poised for full recovery, with demand expected to normalize post-2021 and strong growth projected through 2030.
