Solar energy falling in line with the UN's sustainability goals is an up surging industry. The global solar panels market is estimated to reach USD 180.70 billion by the year 2021.The climatic concerns, government regulations, increasing prices of conventional fuels are among the many reasons driving the shift from conventional to non- conventional energy sources.
Asia- Pacific is seen as the fastest growing region as government initiatives, subsidies, consumer awareness, and sustainability concerns are rising in this region. China has been leading the industry with nearly 50% market share in manufacturing solar panels.
The solar panel industry boom is not restricted to large scale industries, but is also growing its share in small scale industries and households. This has been possible only due to the government's intervention and sustainability concerns of conventional energy sources like coal, petroleum etc.
