Description

The global Thin-film photovoltaic (PV) System market size is predicted to grow from US$ 14060 million in 2025 to US$ 23230 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2025 to 2031.

A thin-film photovoltaic (PV) cell or solar cell is a device to produce electrical energy by using light or solar energy. It is made of different layers mounted on a substrate to provide efficient electricity generation in various applications. These compact systems offer a range of advantages like secure handling, small size, cost-effectiveness, and more flexible than other conventional counterparts

China has implemented the Renewable Energy Law since 2006, in which Article 4 clearly states that, the State gives first priority to the exploration of renewable energy. Over the years, various departments of the Chinese government have successively issued a large number of policies, covering production, sales, taxation, subsidies and other aspects. After setting the carbon neutrality goal in 2021, from a national perspective, the upgrading of the energy structure is ever imperative, and therefore the optoelectronic industry has great potential. The European Commission released the Net-Zero Industry Act in 2023. This bill aims to stimulate local manufacturing in Europe, reduce import dependence on China, and ensure that at least 40% of the EU"s clean energy demand can be met by 2030. The EU targets an installed solar capacity of 600 GW. Overall, the European market still has a lot of room for development. US 2022 release of the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes $369 billion for energy security and climate change investments. For the photovoltaic industry, the bill stimulates its development from multiple aspects such as corporate and individual tax credits, production subsidies, and loans throughout the industry chain, and revitalizes the domestic manufacturing industry in the United States. Japanese authorities plan to make solar panels mandatory for new residential buildings in Tokyo from 2025 onwards. It is estimated that by 2030, photovoltaic power generation will account for 14%-16% of Japan"s total power generation, and the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic systems will be about 117.170 GW.
