Solar energy has endured spectacular growth over the once two decades. But the crises caused by the COVID-19 could vastly disrupt this momentum. Further, governments will be central more than other while determining the pace of deployment of solar energy and diving these challenges in the upcoming time period.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic had significant impact on the global solar power market. The growing demand for power and electricity generation is driving the growth of the global solar power market during 2020. The supply chain disruptions and halt of manufacturing units had adversely affected the growth of the global solar power market.

Furthermore, the development of storage systems named as photovoltaic (PV) is essential in order to increase the capability of photovoltaic systems in order to replace the existing conventional sources. Also, with the growth in demand for photovoltaic installations, the adoption of storage grid is likely to surge, which will drive the demand for solar energy storage lithium ion-powered battery and will also drive the growth of the solar energy market.

The underdeveloped and developing regions face issues regarding load shedding a lot. The market players are substantially taking efforts in those regions for the growth and development of the solar power market. The solar power is regarded as efficient and cost-effective option for the generation of electricity. In addition, the government is taking constant efforts for the development and expansion of the energy industry. This factor is directly impacting the growth and development of the global solar power market during the projection period.

Technology Insights
