Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Solar shingles, also known as photovoltaic shingles, are solar panels created to mimic the appearance and functionality of common roofing materials, including asphalt shingles or slate, and to generate electricity at the same time. Building-integrated photovoltaics is a category of solar energy technology that includes solar shingles (BIPV). Solar shingles come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including solid panels that are the size of shingles, semi-rigid designs with multiple silicon solar cells that are sized more like conventional shingles, and more recent systems using various thin-film solar cell technologies that are comparable to conventional shingles in terms of both size and flexibility. There are also items with a more conventional configuration of silicon solar cells per panel, with ratings of up to 100 watts DC per shingle.

Solar Shingle Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Beneficial Features of Solar Shingles

The shingles are adaptable and durable, which further adds to their attractiveness and enables them to be employed on a range of buildings The CIGS thin-film solar shingle is drawing more interest from homeowners because it is portable, adaptable, and flexible. The solar shingles also further eliminate the necessity for a large installation area that traditional solar panels require. These factors are expected to have a positive impact on the global market for solar shingles. They can mix in with an old or new roof because they are more flexible and lower in weight. As a result, these benefits offered by solar shingles further accelerates their demand, thus propelling the overall market growth.

Furthermore, the rapid urbanization coupled with the increased consumer spending on home upgrades and retrofits are major market growth drivers. The growing environmental concerns about fossil fuel-based power generation, elongating electricity bills and growing pollution levels are further anticipated to boost the adoption of solar shingles.

Opportunities

• Favourable Regulatory Environment and Efforts towards Sustainable Development

The favorable regulatory environment for the use of renewable energy technologies as well as the increased efforts toward sustainable development are estimated to further extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.

• Advancements and Investments

Furthermore, the advancements related to solar energy harvesting coupled with the increasing investments in the development of novel manufacturing facilities are estimated to further provide growth opportunities for the solar shingle market.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Installation Costs

Solar shingles require significantly more money to install than standard solar panels. In the US, the price to install a solar panel ranges from US$ 10,000 to US$ 15,000, while the price to install a solar shingle is from US$ 60,000 to US$ 75,000. This is anticipated to have a significant negative impact on the global market for solar shingles during the forecast period since high costs will make the technology unaffordable.

• Drawbacks of Solar Shingles

Furthermore, the solar shingles are unable to store energy, thus they cannot supply power at night or during storms. Additionally, the roof must be at the proper angle for the shingles to catch the sun. These factors are estimated to pose as a serious challenge to the growth of the solar shingle market.
