However, the solar PV market also faces challenges such as the intermittent nature of solar power and the need for energy storage solutions. Nevertheless, the increasing demand for renewable energy sources and technological advancements are expected to overcome these challenges, driving the growth of the solar PV market in the coming years.

How has COVID-19 had a significant negative impact on the Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Market?
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the solar photovoltaic market, with both positive and negative effects. Here are some of the key impacts of the pandemic on the solar photovoltaic market:

Policy Changes: The pandemic has led to changes in government policies, which can impact the solar photovoltaic market. Some governments have delayed or postponed renewable energy auctions or reduced funding for renewable energy projects due to budget constraints. However, despite these challenges, there have also been some positive impacts of the pandemic on the solar photovoltaic market:

Resilience of Renewable Energy: The pandemic has highlighted the importance of resilient energy systems, and the reliability of renewable energy sources like solar power. This has increased interest in renewable energy and could drive increased investment in solar projects in the long term.

Increased Support for Green Energy: The pandemic has led to increased support for green energy policies and initiatives as governments look to stimulate economic growth while addressing climate change. This increased support could result in more favourable policies for solar photovoltaic development.

Improved Public Perception: The pandemic has increased public awareness of the importance of environmental issues and the need for sustainable energy solutions. This could lead to increased demand for solar photovoltaic technology in the future.

Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic has had both negative and positive impacts on the solar photovoltaic market. While there have been significant challenges, there are also opportunities for the solar industry to grow and thrive in the post-pandemic world.

What are the Current Market Drivers?

Government Support Aiding the Growth of the Market
Government support has been a major driving factor for the growth of the solar photovoltaic market, with many countries around the world implementing policies, incentives, and subsidies to encourage the adoption of solar power. Here are some recent examples of government support for the solar photovoltaic market:

For instance, United States: In December 2020, the US Congress passed a new stimulus package that includes an extension of the federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) for two years. This tax credit provides a 26% reduction in the cost of solar panel installation for residential and commercial properties, which is expected to stimulate demand for solar power in the US.

Cost Reduction in Manufacturing Solar PV Modules
Cost reduction has been a significant driving factor for the growth of the solar photovoltaic market in recent years. Here are a few examples of how cost reduction has been achieved in the solar photovoltaic industry: Economies of Scale: As the solar photovoltaic market has grown, production has increased, leading to economies of scale that have reduced the cost of solar panels. For example, in 2016, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority received a bid for an 800 MW solar power project at a record low price of 2.99 cents per kilowatt-hour. This was made possible due to the large scale of the project, which allowed for significant cost reductions.

Where are the Market Opportunities?

Technological Innovations to Boost Solar PV Market
Technological innovations present a significant opportunity for the solar photovoltaic market to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase performance. Here are some recent examples of technological innovations in the solar photovoltaic market:

Bifacial Solar Panels: Bifacial solar panels are a recent innovation in solar photovoltaic technology that can capture sunlight from both sides of the panel, increasing energy production. These panels use a special glass coating that reflects light back onto the solar cells, increasing their efficiency. Bifacial solar panels have the potential to increase energy production by up to 30%.

Emerging Markets in the Developing Nations of the World
Emerging markets present a significant market opportunity for the solar photovoltaic industry due to several factors, including a growing demand for energy, increasing urbanization, and favourable government policies.
