Insights Presented in the Report
“Based on solar panel, monocrystalline category is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period”
Based on solar panel, the solar vehicle market has been classified into monocrystalline and polycrystalline. The monocrystalline category is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the factors that they are highly efficient and durable which makes them an attractive choice. Monocrystalline solar panels have higher energy efficiency so that they can produce more electricity from the same amount of sunlight. Furthermore, to meet the requirements of vehicles that need a durable and continuous source of energy, monocrystalline panels have an extra period of life that’s greater than what is possible with all types of solar panels. Thus, such factors are expected to increase the demand for Monocrystalline solar vehicle in the market.
“Amongst end-user, passenger vehicle are expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period”
On the basis of end-user, the market is categorized into passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle. Among these, the passenger vehicles are expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period. To help improve the quality and range of Solar Passenger Vehicles, companies are looking at developing more effective panels and energy storage systems. In addition, there is growing demand from consumers for eco-friendly vehicles that could trigger a boom in solar power cars in passenger vehicles.
Solar vehicle Market Report Coverage
“APAC is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period”
In 2021, APAC is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the increasing concerns about air pollution, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and government initiatives to promote the use of electric and solar-powered vehicles in the region. The government of China has implemented several policies and initiatives to support the use of electric and solar-powered vehicles, including subsidies and tax incentives for manufacturers and consumers. This has led to a significant rise in the production and adoption of electric and solar vehicles in China. Other countries in the region, such as Japan, South Korea, and India, are expected to witness growth in this market in the forecasted years. These countries have also implemented policies and initiatives to promote the use of electric and solar-powered vehicles and there is growing interest among consumers in adopting these technologies. For instance, in Feb 2023, Pune startup to launch India’s first solar electric car Eva in 2024. The car is designed to accommodate two adults and a child; contains 150-watt solar panels on the sunroof that can give it 10-12 km of range every day. It can be charged in four hours at home with a regular house socket and with a DC fast-charging option, it reaches 80 percent charge in 45 minutes.
