Solar encapsulation is a crucial process used to safeguard solar panels and equipment from degradation. This protective step is integral to the solar cell manufacturing process, shielding solar panels and equipment from various external and environmental factors that could cause deterioration. Solar encapsulation serves to increase the lifespan of solar cells, mitigate stability issues, and provide protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, corrosion, temperature changes, and low mechanical stress.
The primary types of materials used for solar encapsulation include non-ethylene vinyl acetate, UV-curable resin, and other materials. Ethylene-vinyl acetate is a material known for its good radiation transmission and low degradability to sunlight, making it a commonly used encapsulating agent in solar modules. Solar modules involved in solar encapsulation can include polycrystalline silicon cells, cadmium telluride, amorphous silicon cells, and other types. These solar modules find applications in various industries, including automotive, electronics, and other diverse applications.

The solar encapsulation market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.34 billion in 2023 to $4.18 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.3%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including increased government incentives and subsidies for solar energy adoption, heightened awareness and concern for environmental sustainability, a growing demand for clean and renewable energy sources, a reduction in the cost of solar energy production, and the increasing popularity of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules.
The solar encapsulation market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.3 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding solar energy sector in emerging economies, a rising demand for photovoltaic solar systems, the implementation of transparent conductive materials, and the integration of energy storage solutions with solar encapsulation systems. Significant trends expected in the forecast period encompass innovations in encapsulation materials, ongoing research and development in advanced encapsulation materials, the development of lightweight and flexible solar encapsulation materials, the emergence of smart encapsulation technologies for real-time monitoring and maintenance, and the customization of encapsulation materials to suit specific climate conditions.
The growth of the solar encapsulation market is being propelled by the increasing demand for rooftop photovoltaics (PV) installations in developing economies. Photovoltaic (PV) systems are designed to harness solar power, converting sunlight into electricity through components like solar panels. With environmental concerns rising and traditional energy sources depleting, there's a notable shift towards renewable energy, particularly solar energy. The installation of PV systems, including rooftop PV installations, is on the rise in developing economies. Solar encapsulation, a mandatory process ensuring the reliability and longevity of PVs, witnesses increased demand. For instance, in 2021, India installed 1.7 GW of rooftop solar, indicating a 210% YoY increase. The residential and commercial segments contributed significantly to the installed capacity. Japan, aiming for 108 GW of solar capacity by 2030, further underscores the increasing demand for solar PV installations, subsequently driving the solar encapsulation market.
The solar encapsulation market is experiencing growth due to the escalating energy demand and consumption during the historic period. Energy demand, reflecting the total electrical power needed by consumers and industries, has surged. Efficient encapsulation materials in solar PV systems enable decentralized power generation, reducing dependence on centralized grids and enhancing regional energy independence. In 2022, global electricity generation saw a 2.3% increase, and non-OECD countries witnessed a significant rise in primary energy consumption, led by China. This growth in energy demand is a key factor propelling the solar encapsulation market.
A notable trend in the solar encapsulation market is technological advancement, with major players focusing on introducing and implementing advanced encapsulation technology for solar modules. These technologies aim to improve PV module efficiency through innovative designs that replace gaps between solar cells. For instance, JA Solar Holdings launched the DeepBlue 4.0 X, an n-type PV module utilizing specialized encapsulation materials and patented Gapless Flexible Interconnection (GFI) technology to address mechanical stress and reduce the risk of microcracking.
Innovation in product development, such as backsheets, is a strategy employed by major companies in the solar encapsulation market to enhance their product offerings. Backsheets, protective layers in photovoltaic solar panels, shield solar cells from environmental factors and provide electrical insulation. Alishan Green Energy introduced BackPro backsheets, advanced solar module components with proprietary coatings for improved performance, UV resistance, and mechanical strength. This move positions them as a comprehensive source for encapsulant and backsheets needs in the solar energy sector.
