Factors governing the building applied photovoltaics market

With the expansion of the world’s population, there has been a surge in demand for electricity from around the globe. Owing to continuous efforts to reduce carbon footprint, commercial as well as residential sectors have undergone a paradigm shift in terms of electricity generation, from traditional to renewable sources of power. This has boosted the building applied photovoltaics market. Moreover, governments as well as electricity suppliers have been introducing incentive schemes, attractive Feed in Tariff, and reduced costs to encourage the use of building applied photovoltaics. The Net Zero Energy Building (ZEB) policy is expected to further aid the growth of the building applied photovoltaics market. However, structural compliances and high expense of building applied photovoltaics systems are anticipated to restrain the global market over the forecast period.

Segmentation and analysis

The building applied photovoltaics market can be categorized on the basis of geography, end user, technology, as well as product type. Regionally, the global building applied photovoltaics market is segmented into Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, and Rest of the World. Product-wise, the building applied photovoltaics market is categorized into facades, rooftop, and others. The key end users of building applied photovoltaics include residential, commercial, and industrial. In terms of technology, the building applied photovoltaics market is divided into thin film, C-Si, and others such as organic photovoltaic (OPV) and dye sensitized cell (DSC).

In terms of end users, the commercial sector dominated the building applied photovoltaics market owing to solar energy subsidies and revised laws and regulations pertaining to the use of renewable energy sources. The Renewable Energy Law brought into effect in China in 2006 has specifically driven the Chinese building applied photovoltaics market. Among the key building applied photovoltaics products, the rooftop segment has been witnessing a remarkable rise in demand, enjoying 54% share of the global market in terms of volume in 2013. However, growing acceptance and surge in industrial as well as commercial applications is anticipated to fuel the facades segment in the coming years, making it the fastest-growing segment of the building applied photovoltaics market.
