MARINE SOLAR PANEL MARKET

INTRODUCTION

A solar panel is fundamentally a battery charger that transforms solar energy into electrical energy(DC charge).Most marine solar systems comprise  three major components i.e. solar panels, charge controller and batteries.

Solar Panel Applications in Marine/ boating industry

1. Maintenance charging for boats on anchoring/moorings

2. Supplementing engine-based charging during cruising

3. Sole-energy source in absence of  on-board Diesel generator

MARINE SOLAR PANEL MARKET DYNAMICS

Solar-power efficiency has undergone significant developments in recent years. Small boat owners often use solar panels as supplementary power generator which are also environment friendly with zero noise. There are three type of marine solar panels on sale today.

1. Mono-crystalline -Cells have the highest efficiency rates because they are cut from a single crystal of the high grade silicon, have the superior life expectancy (20+ years), and consume less space due to their high efficiency
2. Poly-crystalline- Cells, made from recycled silicon, comparatively less efficient and often less durable
3. Amorphous/Flexible - These solar panels are flexible panels , low cost, and least efficient.

Efficiency of solar panels  range from as low as 9-10%, for flexible panels, to about 16-18% for poly-crystalline panels, and 21-23% for mono-crystalline panels.

Crystalline panels degrade much slower than flexible/amorphous type and therefore produce energy for a longer period of time(20+ years), as compared to flexible/amorphous type which have shorter warranties (3-5 years).

MARINE SOLAR PANEL MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

The aluminum-framed solar panels are the least expensive, as they are manufactured via a modular construction process. The crystalline panels are highly specialized items made in small quantities, so they're more expensive.

The marine solar panel market is estimated at XX units per annum, growing at ~X% CAGR till 2025.US accounts for almost ~30% of global marine solar panel sales per annum
