A tremendous shift towards green energy directs the global market to adopt solar panels with less usage of fossil fuels and higher reduction in carbon emissions.
Solar panel made out of photovoltaics cells that helps in convert of sun’s energy into electricity. PV cells is created and made in layers which is silicon each layers have different properties, which is energized and as soon as it get hit by photons from sunlight, electricity is generated. Solar panel produces a direct electricity. Some of the advantages of solar panels are it is installed in wide range of places. It can also be installed in rooftop and support local biodiversity. Solar panels don’t create noise pollutions while they create electricity, thus this us to makes install in large space and requires lot of spaces. They are made from silicon sheets and there is no danger of leaking or emission of any toxins fumes.

There are three types of solar panels mainly monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film solar panel. Each panel has its own features. Monocrystalline solar panel is single pure silicon crystals. These are most space-efficient and longest-lasting among solar panels. However it is expensive and lot of silicon is used to manufacture. It has efficiency rate of 15%. Polycrystalline solar panel is used to make different silicon crystals which is through melting into square mold. This less efficient in terms of conversion of heat and space. They have low level of heat tolerance. Thin film solar panel is made of different particles and therefore this solar panel is very less effective, requires lot of space to generate electricity. Thin film solar panel also has variations, cadmium telluride, amorphous silicon and copper indium gallium selenide. Cadmium is basically low-cost and is the lowest of carbon footprint. If it is recycles then it becomes more expensive. Amorphous silicon requires less silicon and therefore it produces low cost at the expenses of efficiency. It is used in places which have use of less power. Copper indium gallium selenide, this panels is a layer of copper, gallium and selenium. This is high efficient among the thin panels but not as efficient as crystalline silicon panels. This thin film solar panel is in less demand they have less price as compared to silicon panels.

Another photovoltaics is there which is concentration PV cells, it also focuses into solar cells by using a mirror or lens. PV materials becomes more efficient when sun light is more concentrated in one single places, therefore high amount of solar power can be generated. However this have manufacturing cost is high and makes its prices to be high. In order to make solar panel more efficient and expand it life span we have use different techniques which helps solar panel more efficient and better. Therefore the solar panel coating was introduced and it has various types. Solar panel coating makes solar panel more efficient and light transitivity and high absorption capacity and these makes reduction of reflection. In result there is less loss of energy. Government have made policies and state as well to introduce a better panels, this will make a huge demand in future for solar panels growth. Manufacturers initially faced lot of problems in investment and made very less return since very few knew the demand for solar panel and its future use. Now government is also supporting and other investors are also supporting. These has made huge demand for solar panels. To make solar panel efficient, solar panels have various types, Anti-reflective, hydrophobic, self-cleaning, Anti-soiling and anti-abrasion. These types coating have made solar panel more efficient major growth have taken place. The uses and benefits of those coating are, Anti-reflective increases the amount of light transmitted through surfaces panels and therefore it increases the efficiency.

Hydrophobic allows water to flow more easily and water is not in the surface panels thus makes it more efficient. Self-cleaning is basically it stops the pollution to be there. This makes coating anti-dust and prevents the growth of mould and when there is little rain then it automatically cleans itself. Different types of solar coating is also introduced which is Nano-coating. This also improves the efficiency. Anti-reflective coating, these also reduces the reflection and glare by uncoated solar panel. This is usually done by reducing the difference in refractive index between air and glass. Hydrophobic coating is basically these also resist the growth of mould, prevents from dust, and dirt.Market size for solar panel and solar panel coating is expected to be huge in forecast period. The current market size is around more than USD 200 Billion. There has been tremendous increase in revenue this solar panel market due to the change in policies by government and policies drafted. Several companies and investors also have invested a lot. The main reason for the growth and demand of solar panel is because of environment concern. Many of the countries hugely polluted and environment concern has become major factor. To reduce the emission of carbon and limit the use of fossil fuels. Government is giving incentives for installing solar panel. this has made huge growth and increase in the economic for solar panel. People are slowly shifting and have started using solar power. In recent times it has been noticed that major demand was from commercial use. For End-user of solar panel there are three types, commercial, Industrial and Residential use.
