The development and adoption of thin film monocrystalline silicon materials will have a positive influence on the market during the forecast period. Thin films made of monocrystalline silicon materials are cost-efficient and can be used in large-scale electricity production.

The energy payback time (EPBT) of thin film monocrystalline silicon cells is lower than that of other technologies. These cells exhibit low-temperature coefficients and are thus used in hot regions around the world. They can work at an absorber thickness of approximately 2 µm, and the absorbance can be increased by using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition.

In this report, Technavio analysts highlight the increasing demand for solar energy as a key factor contributing to the growth of the global monocrystalline silicon market:

Increasing demand for solar energy

The growing focus on energy security is likely to fuel the demand for renewable energy. The limited reserves of fossil fuels are used for producing energy. Crude oil imports influence the economic growth of countries. Renewable energy sources are increasingly used as alternatives to conventional energy sources as they expand the energy mix and decrease the dependence petroleum-based fuels. Solar energy reduces the dependency on imported crude oil for countries that have few or no petroleum reserves. Unlike conventional fuels, solar energy does not cause emissions.

“Microcrystalline silicon is widely used for manufacturing photovoltaic panels that convert sunlight into electricity. The increasing government support and subsidies for the installation and use of solar power will drive the microcrystalline silicon market during the forecast period,” says a senior analyst at Technavio for specialty chemicals research.
