Market Drivers:
The lack of oil, coal, and other fossil fuels has increased the demand for technology-based renewable energy. The adoption of solar battery storage technologies and higher industrial investments are driving the market's rise. The price of coal and natural gas has gone up, which has raised the average commercial power price internationally.
Despite past equipment price increases brought on by high commodity and energy costs, higher natural gas and coal prices aid solar batteries in remaining competitive. Fixed-price contracts for renewable energy that act as a safety net against rising spot market prices have increased the value of these bilateral agreements. Larger electricity costs do not translate into larger government subsidies for solar PV because over 90% of all wind and PV projects have long-term fixed-price PPAs through FITs or CFDs.
In response to stringent regulations put in place by governments of many countries to reduce reliance on finite resources, the adoption of environmentally friendly and economically viable energy solutions has significantly increased on a global scale. This is one of the major elements affecting the market's expansion. To fulfill the continued energy needs of the world's population, solar PV systems are also often used in grid systems connected to the regional utility grid. Additionally, they are utilized in solar streetlights, which are fostering the market's rise, in order to ensure speedy payback on significant capital expenditures. Solar PV systems are further employed in smart grids to provide the grid with electricity during periods of high demand.
The upsurge in demand for renewable energy sources, the paltry decrease in carbon emissions, and our dependency on conventional fuels are all results of the increased interest in PV technology. The increased need for energy in developing countries like India, China, and Thailand also contributed to solar PV's growth rate in 2019 being 22% higher than that of wind and hydropower. Rapid industrialization and urbanization are credited with increasing demand.
In order to reduce transportation costs, more individuals are switching to driving electric vehicles, increasing demand for electric batteries. Companies are being urged to employ storage facilities that are performance-driven as a result. The development of systems that support both stationary and mobile batteries will be sparked by the focus of many businesses on solar-integrated EV charging stations, expanding the solar battery market throughout the anticipated timeframe.
Restraints
The high cost of solar battery installation and maintenance is the biggest barrier for business owners in this industry. Government schemes offering tax credits and subsidies are currently very crucial for solar battery storage. Additionally, distilled water must be used in the system, and it needs to be changed daily. Applications for solar batteries are limited to small residential areas as a result of these problems.
Market Segmentation
The solar battery market is divided into the lead-acid, flow, and lithium-ion segments.
Based on end-use, the market is divided into three categories: commercial, residential, and industrial.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific can expect to capture the largest market share over the study period. The solar battery industry is growing as a result of the rising industrial sector in the area. These batteries can be used in a variety of settings, such as factories and as power sources for electronic equipment. Fast-growing countries in the Asia-Pacific area are putting a lot of emphasis on the industrial sector, which is expected to be one of the major end-use markets for solar batteries in the next years. China and India are among these nations.
