solar market in the world

 

The solar industry in India

 


The country's solar industry is showing signs of recovery with increased activity compared to the previous quarter while 2020 worst years for solar in India as COVID-19 took a heavy toll on the industry, the industry still has a long way to go.

However, the market is almost back on its feet, and the mood is upbeat as the industry heads to 2021 - one of the best years foretasted for the sector," said Raj Prabhu, CEO of Mercom Capital Group.

India, the third-largest solar market in the world, India has witnessed a dip in terms of capacity addition, which fell from 9.6 gigawatt (GW) in 2017 to 8.3 GW in 2018, indicating a slowdown of 16 per cent. 

Gradually India is becoming a favorite investment destination for both local and global players. Today Indian economy has the second-fastest rate of increase in GDP in the world - 7.1%. The country accounts for one thirds of the world's population without access to electricity. The situation arises despite several initiatives and policies to support poor households. 

Although the country is rich in coal and abundantly endowed with renewable energy in the form of solar, wind, hydro and bio-energy, India has very small hydrocarbon reserves (0.4% of the world's total). Being a net importer of energy, more than 35% of the country's primary energy needs are ensured through import.

The potential customers of Solar Energy installation fall into these categories:

  • Residential clusters or the "colonies" in India. There is a strong sense of community among the colonies of urban and suburban.
  • Business office complexes - Companies such as IBM, EMC, Intel, Pfizer, etc. have built immense office complexes in the last 5-8 years that house
  • Thousands of employees and huge arrays of power-hungry computer equipment.
  • Rural townships and villages - it is an immense market and would typically be government-funded or non-profit funded installations.
  • Individual Residences are good significant number of private citizens who are in a position to afford solar power installations e.g. being "green."
  • Large government power production facilities - on 1- to 5-MW power plant facilities as well as its larger goals for upgrading India's overall power production.
  • Water-pumping is unpredictable and inconsistent costs of Monsoon-based farming are a detriment to farmers in these areas..

Lithium-ion battery  is the core component of electric vehicles, grid trough periods of surplus electricity can be stored and used to drive an electric car, you can implement the strategy of low power instead of oil, reduce our demand for oil and improve urban air quality, battery store excess electricity during peak hours back to the grid can also achieve peaking. Once the grid has a strong ability to regulate the power of solar, wind, geothermal, ocean energy and other clean power generation means for generating intermittent easily into the grid, clean energy will gain large-scale applications, which solve mankind’s energy and environmental problems It will have a crucial role. Characteristics of the  lithium-ion battery industry  is the quantity, but the large scale, high technology and equipment of small, has a strong capability of independent innovation and even less, companies need to strengthen the capability of independent innovation, and actively participate in cooperative dev

  EV Charger Market 2020-2027  The global electric vehicle charger market was valued at $3.8 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $25.5 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 26.8% from 2020 to 2027. Factors such as government regulations to limit environment pollution, increase in market penetration of electric vehicles, and surge in government initiatives for development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure drive the growth of the electric vehicle charger market. However, limited number of EV charging stations and lack of standardization of EV charging are anticipated to hamper the market growth. Further, surge in demand for luxury and feature enabled vehicles and wireless charging for electric vehicles are expected to create numerous opportunities for EV chargers market expansion. Electric vehicle charging infrastructure is vital for the mass adoption of electric vehicles. Several government initiatives have been undertaken to provide EV charging stations across the wor

  quantum dot solar cell   A novel technology that can improve the efficiency of quantum dot solar cells to 11.53% has been unveiled. Published in the February 2020 issue of  Advanced Energy Materials , it has been evaluated as a study that solved the challenges posed by the generation of electric currents from sunlight by solar cells by enhancing the hole extraction. A research team, led by Professor Sung-Yeon Jang in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST has developed a photovoltaic device that maximizes the performance of quantum dot solar cells by using organic polymers. Solar cells use a characteristic of which electrons and holes are generated in the absorber layer. The free free electrons and hole then move through the cell, creating and filling in holes. It is this movement of electrons and holes that generate electricity. Therefore, creating multiple electron-hole pairs and transporting them are an important consideration in the design of efficient solar cells
