Competitive Analysis

Manufacturers strive to increase production capacities of encapsulation resins with improved cost efficiency and digitalization. They also explore the possibility of new product development after mastering the existing ones.

For instance, recently, on August 10, 2021, Researchers at Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH - Germany) announced the development of two different techniques integrating stone veneers in conventional solar modules to make them suitable for BIPV projects in stone facades.

All panels are bifacial heterojunction solar cells encapsulated between two sheets of polyolefin encapsulation film. These panels are considered an ideal solution for aesthetically demanding applications in buildings with stone facades.

Improvements in Solar Encapsulation Techniques & Materials Boost Market size

The market outlook appears promising mainly due to the continually growing energy demand worldwide. Rise in solar panel installations in residential as well as commercial sectors drives the solar encapsulation market growth. Additionally, increasing government initiatives and awareness for solar encapsulation benefits influence market revenues. Also, the vast uptake of thin-film solar and cadmium telluride (CDTE) technology fosters the market's size. 

Increasing installations of rooftop and ground-mounted solar panels in industrial sectors and utility-scale systems are other significant trends influencing the market growth. Substantial investments by industry players to drive technology upgrades and improve materials, alongside declining prices of essential raw materials and components, push the solar encapsulation market growth. 

EVA has long been the key material for the encapsulation of silicon PV modules. The vast availability of cheap & easy to process EVA from an established, cost-optimized supply chain positively impacts market growth. Furthermore, increasing research activities for specialized application of various vital raw materials in PV modules creates vast market opportunities.  

Prohibitive Costs Restrict Market Growth

High costs related to the production and maintenance of solar encapsulation are significant factors obstructing market growth. Nevertheless, rising electricity prices and the availability of cost-competitive solar encapsulation techniques would support the market growth throughout the assessment period. Recent developments in module technology have created major opportunities for the use of another class of materials, polyolefins (POEs).

COVID-19 Impacts on the Market

The onset of COVID-19 could hardly affect the solar encapsulation industry. Industry players faced major challenges, including disrupted supply chains, attracting workers from quarantines, and logistic issues in delivering end products. 

At the same time, the pandemic reassured a robust rise in the renewable energy market, continually propelling energy demand. The solar encapsulation market value is projected to pick up further, following lockdown mandates relaxed in many countries.
