Solar Cable market revenue to cross US $ 2.5 billion by 2031

The global market for solar cable is estimated to have acquired US $ 891.4 million in 2022 , a new report from Transparency Market Research reveals .

The report says the market is anticipated to advance with a rapid 13.6 % CAGR from 2023 to 2031 to gain US $ 2.5 billion .
Solar power generating uses different cables than industrial facilities . They can endure high temperature changes , rain , prolonged exposure to ozone and sunshine and direct Ultraviolet ( UV ) radiation , among other challenging environmental factors .
Solar energy is becoming more accessible to both residential and business users because of the continually falling cost of solar panels . More people and companies are investing in solar systems as a result of falling solar panel prices . It is anticipated that the solar cable market will increase rapidly in the next years due to the rapid deployment of solar panels . are made to manage the greater current and voltage levels associated with these cutting-edge solar panels
• The overall energy generation of bifacial solar panels is increased by its ability to collect sunlight from both the front and back surfaces
• The dual-sided power production in these panels sometimes necessitates the use of unusual wire architectures .
• Bidirectional power flow must be possible using solar cables for bifacial panels – which must be able to connect to both the front and the rear of the panels .
Market Trends for Solar Cables
• The stranded type segment is expected to dominate the market throughout the forecast period . In many solar systems , particularly in household and small- to medium-sized business projects , stranded solar cables are frequently employed .
• Stranded solar cables are commonly composed of cross-linked polyethylene ( XLPE ), a single-core polymer with a solid conductor . For the majority of typical solar panel systems , where electricity is sent straight from the panels to the inverter , these cables are affordable and acceptable .
The report says solar cable market growth in North America is being driven by an increase in solar installations . However , the report expects APAC to make up the majority of the 2023 – 2031 market .
There , the market dynamics are identified as driven by the growth of the solar energy industry and an increase in solar installations . p
There are several solar cable producers , which contributes to the extremely fragmented nature of the worldwide market .
The report references a majority of firms as investing heavily in research and development to diversify their product offering .
Key findings of the report include :
• Increased power output from a given surface area may result from improvements in solar panel efficiency
• High-efficiency panels frequently need for specialized cabling solutions to guarantee that the increased power generation is safely and effectively delivered to inverters and the electrical grid
• To minimize energy losses during transmission , specialized solar cables
