Solar Panel Coatings Market Segment Analysis
The residential segment is anticipated to dominate the market throughout the forecast period due to the rise in the adoption and installation of solar panels for generating energy and rising demand for installing rooftop solar panels. Rooftop solar panels comprise 80% share.
Anti-reflective coatings enhance the absorption capacity, improve light transitivity, and reduce the reflection, thereby improving the overall efficiency of solar panels hence drives the demand for anti-reflective solar panel coatings. The hydrophobic segment is the second-largest segment of the market and is estimated to witness considerable demand in the forecast period. The excellent property of hydrophobic coatings does not allow the water to remain on the surface of solar panels.
