Solar Vehicle Market size is expected to grow at a substantial rate over the projected timeframe owing to stringent emission norms across the globe focusing on reducing dependency on fossil fuels and improving efficiency from such vehicles. These vehicles consist of solar panels, powered by photovoltaic cells, that convert solar energy into electricity. The improved vehicle efficiency along with easier driving operations are further expected to boost the solar vehicle market size.
The benefits offered by these vehicles over the conventional fueled vehicles including low or no noise along with reduced carbon emissions are providing a positive outlook for the solar vehicle market growth over the projected timeframe. Rising prices of petroleum-based fuels along with the availability of abundance of solar power at free cost further enhances the industry share over the study timeframe.
OEM’s are investing in R&D for developing advanced technologies for harnessing solar energy for powering their electric vehicles. For instance, in October 2018, Hyundai along with Kia presented their solar roof technology with the capability of charging the vehicle during normal driving. Additionally, in 2017, Audi showcased its automotive solar sunroof that are ideal for electric vehicles with the capabilities of charging the vehicle conveniently, and lowering the time required for overall vehicle charging.
The solar vehicle market share based on panel is bifurcated into monocrystalline panels and polycrystalline panels. The monocrystalline solar panels will grow considerably owing to the compact size and higher efficiency compared to the polycrystalline solar panels. The semiflexible monocrystalline panels are used in electric cars with significant improvements in efficiency. However, the higher panel cost compared to the polycrystalline panels may hamper the market expansion over the study timeframe.
