What Is Covered Under Solar Farm Market?

Solar farm refers to large-scale solar panels installation that harvests the sun's power using photovoltaic (PV) panels, also known as solar panels, or other techniques of collecting solar energy, such as concentrating solar systems. The main types of solar farms are surface suction, utility-scale, distributed generation, microgrids, and others. Surface suction solar farm refers to solar farms with panels enclosed in vacuum enclosures that have low emittance coatings in their internal surface, which are used for efficiently collecting solar energy without energy wastage. The solar farms are operated using solar photovoltaic, mono-Si, thin film, multi-Si, and other technologies by various end-use industries such as residential, commercial, and industrial.

What Is The Solar Farm Market Growth Forecast?

The solar farm market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $349.03 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in large-scale renewable projects, growing integration of energy storage solutions, expansion of smart grid connectivity, rising corporate renewable procurement, increasing focus on energy security. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of utility-scale solar projects, rising adoption of hybrid solar and storage systems, growing use of floating and agrivoltaic solar farms, expansion of distributed solar generation models, enhanced focus on grid-integrated solar farms.

What Is The Driver Of The Solar Farm Market?

A surge in demand for electricity from renewable sources is significantly contributing to the solar farm market going forward. Renewable energy refers to the energy that comes from renewable resources that replenish themselves more quickly than they are used up. Solar farms utilize solar energy for producing electricity and thermal energy which can fulfil world energy demand 100 times over other renewable sources, which makes solar farms suitable for addressing increasing renewable energy demand across the world. For instance, in July 2024, according International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, the share of global electricity supply anticipated to increase from 30% in 2023 to 35% by 2025. Therefore, the surge in demand for electricity from renewable sources will drive the solar farm industry.

Global Solar Farm Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the solar farm market are focusing on launching floating solar farms. Floating solar power systems, also known as floating photovoltaics (FPV) or floatovoltaics, are an innovative approach to solar energy generation. For instance, in July 2023, Noria Energy a US-based solar developer, launched 1.5MW floating solar power system on the reservoir at Colombia’s Urrá Dam, the largest project of its kind in South America. Installed at the 340 MW Urrá hydropower plant in the Sinú River basin of Córdoba, Colombia, is the Aquasol floating solar project. It is anticipated to generate nearly 2,400 megawatt-hours of power in its first year of operation, more than offsetting the energy required to run the dam. It is made up of more than 2,800 solar modules. Additionally, it is anticipated that the project will produce more than $1.2 million in additional electricity revenue over 20 years and prevent more than 1,540 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
