Frameless Solar Panels Market, By Type (Monocrystalline Solar Panels, Polycrystalline Solar Panels, Thin-film Solar Panels), By Application (Residential, Commercial, Others) and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Trends, Analysis, And Forecast Till 2029

Frameless solar panels, also known as ‘glass-on-glass’ modules, are an aesthetically pleasing variant of the traditional solar panel. When installed, they appear to be “floating” as they do not require support frames to be erected. Solar cells are inserted between the two layers of glass, which makes the glass thick so as to provide structural support and strength. These panels and modules offer multiple advantages over traditional panels. For example, frameless solar panels are noticeably less expensive than regular panels. Moreover, they reduce transportation costs owing to their higher density in terms of packaging and less weight. Since these panels do not have any aluminum frames, there is little to no debris build-up which enhances their performance. However, their biggest advantage lies in their aesthetic appeal, a feature that has been criticized as being absent from conventional solar modules. Numerous installation methods and techniques have been developed to fit in frameless solar panels in different structures. For example, adhesive-based solutions have been devised to install these solar panels into ground-mounted and ballasted systems, such as in open fields or desert regions. Adhesives are a trustworthy option as they are heavily relied upon by the construction industry and can, thus, be confidently utilized for solar installations. In a similar manner, downward-sloping or “pitched” roofs can have solar panels installed using frameless clamps armed with rubber guards to protect the glass. This enables a traditional installation procedure whilst eschewing the need for frames. These innovations have made possible the installation of solar panels in unconventional settings and made the adoption of solar energy devices feasible.

COVID-19 Impact on the Market:

With the outbreak of the COVID-19, COVID-19 patients having severe pneumonia have been found to be suffering from internal bleeding, with an inhibited ability for blood coagulation. As a result, the demand for plasma-derived therapies such as PCC, which have proven efficacy in dealing with blood disorders, is rising at a rapid rate during the current crisis. Plasma therapies are already being administered to coronavirus patients around the world and are meeting with notable success. This has surged the uptake of plasma-derived medications, drugs, and therapies, which is expected to feed the growth of this market. However, the strict lockdown has limited the supplies. This report will quantify the impact of this pandemic on the global frameless solar panels market.

Monocrystalline Panels

To establish a deeper understanding of the global frameless solar panels market, it will be useful to take a look at some of the segments in the market. To that end, market research firms have identified monocrystalline panels as the segment that holds the greatest business potential. Monocrystalline panels are made up of monocrystalline silicon and have the highest efficiency compared to other panels. This is mainly because of the purity of the silicon used in making these panels. They are also the most expensive variety due to their significantly higher output, long durability, and ergonomic designs.

Restraint:

Higher Cost

Despite benefits of frameless solar panels, cost still remains higher than the conventional modules. Although the solar panel are supposed to save energy and electricity and assumed to save money for longer term its installation takes a huge amount. This high cost restrains the market.

Installation Difficulties

These panels need specific kind of mounting structures to be installed for proper working, which is not very commonly found. Some of the company’s manufacturing frameless solar panels are Trina Solar, Canadian Solar, Solar world, Lumos etc. Lumos also manufactures the mounting structures to be used for these frameless panels. There is a notion in the market that the edges of these panels could be weak since they are not framed. However thick strong glass is used in manufacturing these panels. Generally thin film modules are frameless. Frameless panels still have some technological challenges to overcome.

The global frameless solar panels market based on type, application, and region.

Depending upon the type segment the global frameless solar panels market is divided into the Monocrystalline Solar Panels, Polycrystalline Solar Panels, Thin-film Solar Panels. Depending upon the Application the market is categorized into residential, commercial, others.

 Regional Insights:

Regionally, the overall industry is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, And Middle East & Africa. Europe and North America dominates global frameless solar panels market due to planned investment I renewable sector and it is also expected to account for a large proportion of market in the forecast period as well. Asia Pacific on the other hand is expected to gain the largest market opportunity owing to increasing huge potential of planned solar projects in coming years.
