How is the solar photovoltaic wafer market segmented?

The solar photovoltaic wafer market is segmented by type and geography. By type, the market is segmented into monocrystalline wafers and polycrystalline wafers. The report also covers market size and forecasts for the solar photovoltaic wafer market across major countries.

Why is India a major market for solar photovoltaic wafers?

India is a significant market for solar photovoltaic wafers. As the country's solar photovoltaic sector grows rapidly, it is also expanding its solar cell, wafer, and ingot production capacity to match domestic demand and reduce dependence on imports. In December 2022, Adani Solar unveiled India's largest monocrystalline silicon ingot.

Are monocrystalline solar wafers a good choice?

Due to the higher efficiency and lower space occupancy of monocrystalline solar panels, monocrystalline solar wafers are expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. According to Fraunhofer ISE, monocrystalline solar cells had the highest efficiency (26.7%) of any solar cell.

Is polysilicon a bottleneck for solar PV?

Global capacity for manufacturing wafers and cells, which are key solar PV elements, and for assembling them into solar panels (also known as modules), exceeded demand by at least 100% at the end of 2021. By contrast, production of polysilicon, the key material for solar PV, is currently a bottleneck in an otherwise oversupplied supply chain.

How much is a silicon wafer worth in 2023?

In first half of 2023, Accordng to Polaris Solar Photovoltaic Networks Statistics, Silicon wafer prodcution in china reached 442GW from January to June and was worth USD 5.7 billion. In July 2023, the Australian government announced USD 33.7 million in investment to develop renewable energy supply chains.
