Market Snapshot:
Solar photovoltaic panel converts sunlight (solar radiation) into direct current electricity by using semiconductors. When the sun hits the semiconductor within the photovoltaic cell, electrons are freed and form an electric current. Photovoltaic cells are typically found connected to each other and mounted on a frame known as module. The numerous modules can be wired together to form an array, which can be scaled up or down to produce the amount of power needed. Upsurge demand for solar photovoltaic panels among residential applications drive the market growth over the forecast period.
