The global solar generator market size was estimated at USD 478.1 million in 2021 and it is expected to reach around USD 914.7 million by 2030, poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.47% from 2022 to 2030.
Solar generator basically involves conversion of sunlight energy to electricity. A solar generator involves the solar panels, an inverter, solar panel battery, and battery charger are the components of the solar generator. The solar generator takes the energy from the sun light and store in the generators battery. Energy is taken by the inverters which converts the current from the DC power to the AC power before the output of the power. The output of the energy is in various electric gadgets and various sectors. Solar generator plant was first introduced in the year 1980. Solar generator involves photovoltaic mostly used as a source of electricity for small and normal utilization of electricity.
Solar generators utilize mirror, lenses, and solar tracking system and increased focus of sunlight over the large area and to drive a steam turbine. A solar generator involves device comes with option of fixed and mobile structures having inbuilt batteries. Which stores power in the inverter and can be utilized even during no sunlight. There are wide variety of solar generators developed with different size and capacities based on the needs of market and consumers. Increased shortage of the power supply solar generator is the backup plan for the consumption of the power in the battery. This generators do not emit any gases or noxious fumes and supply the power to the homes. Increased developments and technologies have increased the solar generator market. Increased population with increased demands from the market have accelerated the growth of the market.
Growth factors
Increased developed technologies and new innovative features in the solar generator have increased the market to grow. Newly developed technologies and significant power storing generators for supplying the current and less dependent on the power supply. Photovoltaic cells utilizes solar panels on roof top or mounted in ground which involves converting the sunlight in to electric power. Concentrated solar power also called as concentrated solar thermal which uses energy to make steam and conversion of energy in to electricity by a turbine. Solar generator does not emit any gases or fumes or any odors it is free from pollution but production of the panels led to pollution. Rapid urbanization and development of the countries with increased population and developed solar generators with different sizes, different types with increased demands from the market and increased consumer needs for installing the market.
Governments from various regions have increased the initiatives with increased investment to use renewable source of energy and increased installments of the solar generators have increased the market of solar generators. One of the major factors striving the growth is less cost required for generation of energy by the traditional means and increased costing of solar power generation.
Impact of covid-19 with imposed rules and regulations by the governments and lock down of the nation led to decrease of the market growth due to shortage of supply and ceased transportation after the recovery of the pandemic situation eventually led to increased solar generator market. The market players involved in producing and manufacturing and installing of the solar generators plays a major role in growth of the market with increased revenue share during the forecast period.
