"Summary
Alternative solar photovoltaic technologies have become an inseparable part of the solar PV industry. Alternative solar photovoltaic technologies offer the prospects of higher conversion efficiencies, lighter weight, new applications, greater mechanical flexibility and less fragility. They also offer the potential for significantly lower production costs that may be highly competitive with grid electricity produced through traditional generative sources such as carbon-based fuels, as well as with other types of more traditional solar PV technologies such as mono- and polycrystalline silicon modules.
Current worldwide sales figures support this trend and suggest that the alternative solar photovoltaic technologies market will grow gradually during the coming years. Forecasts of actual market volumes predict installation of more than REDACTED GW of alternative solar PV technologies by 2023. In 2017, First SolarInc. installed more than REDACTED GW of cadmium telluride (CdTe) modules worldwide. Alternative solarphotovoltaic technologies have until now been most successful in the U.S., Japan, China and Germany,but are likely to gain popularity across the globe.
Alternative solar photovoltaic technologies are divided into second generation and third generation solar PV technologies.
Second generation technologies are currently commercially viable and deployed on a relatively wide basis; they compete within the power generation segment, and more narrowly, their nearest competition is with c-Si PV technologies. The most widely utilized technologies are thin-film technologies (non-c-Si), which may be composed of the following -
- Cadmium telluride (CdTe) cells and modules.
- Copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS or CIS) cells and modules.
- Amorphous silicon (a-Si; non-crystalline) cells and modules.
- Gallium-arsenide (GaAs).
Third-generation photovoltaics encompass a diverse set of technologies that range from those that are still in a highly theoretical stage to others that are in the earliest stages of commercial deployment in mostly specialized applications or niche markets. When compared to present adoption rates, the growth in both raw numbers and percentages will be highly impressive in the next five years for thirdgeneration PV, since they are beginning from such a low initial threshold. However, the overall size of the markets will remain small relative to c-Si and even other technologies in the second-generation PV category as companies continue to deal with the challenges of low conversion efficiencies and very specific environmental operating condition requirements for certain third-generation technologies (such as OPV) to achieve optimal performance.
The nearly $REDACTED billion worldwide market for alternative solar photovoltaic technologies that waswitnessed in 2018 will continue to grow gradually at a CAGR of REDACTED% through 2023. This market is stableand growing as a result of the gradual expansion of solar PV installations into niche applications like building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV), building applied photovoltaic systems (BAPV), lightweightrooftop, portable electronics, consumer products, aerospace and military, among others; opening newer opportunities for alternative solar photovolta ic technologies."
