Component-Based Market Insights
Photovoltaic cells consist of two or more thin layers of semi-conducting material. The most commonly used material in the photovoltaic cell is silicon. The semiconductor cells are exposed to light to generate electrical charges, and this can be conducted by metal contacts as direct current (DC) and thus increasing adoption of PV cells will rise the global photovoltaic market size in the forecast period.
Players operating in the photovoltaic market adopt strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, and market initiatives to maintain their positions in the photovoltaic market. A few developments by key players are listed below:
- In 2021, Royal Dutch Shell PLC debuted its 25-megawatt Qabas solar facility. The project is made up of over 88,000 solar modules, is located on a 50-hectare location in northern Oman's Sohar Free Zone. It aids in the reduction of around 25,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year.
- In 2021, the 300 MW Sakaka PV IPP, the country's first utility-scale renewable energy project, was inaugurated by ACWA Power at a cost of SAR 1.2 billion. ACWA Power was awarded the project at a world-record tariff of US$ 2.3417 cents per kWh (8.781 halalas per kWh).
