Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Solar Cell (Photovoltaic) Equipment market size was valued at US$ 47730 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 59440 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.2% during review period.

Solar Cell is a device made from crystalline silicon or thin film that converts sunlight into electricity by a process known as the photovoltaic effect. There are two key indicators for solar cells: one is cell conversion efficiency, and the other is cell thickness.

Solar Cell (Photovoltaic) Equipment mainly refers to the solar module in photovoltaic industry. Solar module employs light energy (photons) from the sun to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. Most of modules use wafer-based crystalline silicon cells or thin-film cells based on cadmium telluride (CdTe) or copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS). The structural (load carrying) member of a module can either be the top layer or the back layer. Cells must also be protected from mechanical damage and moisture. Most solar modules are rigid, but semi-flexible ones are available, based on thin-film cells.

In this report, the statistical product is considered from the solar module, the statistical data is considered from the shipment volume. This report mainly covers the Solar Modules product type (Single Crystal Silicon, Polycrystalline Silicon and Other).

China is the largest Solar Cell (Photovoltaic) Equipment market with about 26% market share. Japan is follower, accounting for about 17% market share.
