PV ribbons are typically copper electrodes that have been coated with either hot-dipped solder or electrolytic tin and are used in solar panels. The ribbon interlocks solar cells in a photovoltaic solar module by fusing solar cells straight on silicon crystals. Copper is commonly used as a foundation material in PV ribbons, but aluminium alloys can be utilized as a base material on occasion. The coating structure and thickness are also important factors in defining the coating's dependability and robustness in PV ribbons. When developing PV ribbons, numerous key aspects must be addressed, including yield strength, elongation, camber, and winding. PV ribbons, solar modules, and the total solar energy system's performance are all affected by these elements. Solar cells with a low yield strength are less likely to break. As a result, optimising overall module power while retaining high elongation and minimal camber is desirable for the ribbon and module to perform properly.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- COVID-19 has had a significant influence on the global PV ribbon market, mostly by disrupting production and demand facilities, disrupting supply chains and marketplaces, and having a financial impact on enterprises and financial markets owing to global lockdowns.
- China is one of the most affected countries because it is one of the world's main producers and consumers of PV Ribbon. PV Ribbon demand fell in 2020 as a result of China's total shutdown.
Top Impacting Factors
Governments and authorities have been obliged to shift their focus away from fossil fuels like coal and crude oil and toward green and renewable energy sources due to increased energy demand and concerns about global warming. As a result, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal have grown in popularity and investment around the world. Solar is one of the major sources of renewable energy, in which countries are investing heavily. The PV ribbon is usually a copper conductor that has been coated with either hot-dipped solder or electrolytic tin and is used in solar panels. This growth in the renewable energy will be profitable for the PV Ribbon Market. The PV Ribbon Market is expected to expand due to the rising attention of businesses in the energy and power industry on lowering their cost of operations in order to improve their profitability. COVID-19 has had a significant influence on the global PV ribbon market, primarily by disrupting production and demand facilities, causing supply chain and market disruption, and having a financial impact on enterprises and financial markets owing to global lockdowns.
