The factors that drive the global market are increase in energy consumption globally, performance efficiency of thin film solar cell, more installation flexibility of thin films, and increase in awareness toward boosting green energy. However, technological complexity associated with the manufacturing and use of thin film solar cell is expected to hamper the market growth. Furthermore, increase in research activities in the field of thin film solar cells is expected to provide a substantial growth opportunity in the near future.Thin Film Solar Cell Market was valued at $11,421 million in 2016, and is estimated to reach $39,512 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 19.4% from 2017 to 2023. In 2016, the cadmium telluride (CdTe) type segment accounted for more than half share of the total market.Thin film solar is specifically made by placing one or more layers of photovoltaic material on a surface, such as plastic, glass, or metal. Thin film utilizes relatively cheaper substrate which makes it cost-effective as compared to silicon. These films are easier to work with and need lesser quantity of substrate material to absorb light as compared to silicon. Furthermore, several research activities resulted into the increased efficiency of thin film solar cell, which beat multi-crystalline silicon cells. These cells are ideal for variety of applications, such as residential and commercial, owing to their non-penetrating peel and installation flexibility. These are also used in large canal waterway solar covers and floating solar reservoir covers to decrease water losses due to evaporation.Access Full Report: https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/thin-film-solar-cell-marketThe on-grid installation segment dominated the global market, with nearly five-sixths of the total market share, in 2016. On-grid installation are usually cheaper, simpler to install, and require lower equipment costs. It offers 100% efficient batteries that are capable of absorbing surplus energy and generate the excess power, which are conserved for later use.The cadmium telluride (CdTe) is the leading type segment, which is the only thin film solar panel technology that exceeded the cost-efficiency of crystalline silicon solar panels. It possesses the lowest energy payback time as compared to other photovoltaic technologies and environmental concerns related to cadmium are expected to be resolved by recycling it at the end of their life time. Utility is the leading end-user segment, occupied more than half of the share in global market.Download Sample Report: https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/request-sample/2294Top Key Players:Oxford Photovoltaics, Hankey Asia Ltd., Global Solar, Inc., Xunlight Kunshan Co.
