Future outlook
The global solar industry is on an upward trajectory, propelled by technological innovation, supportive policies, and increasing demand for clean energy. While thin film photovoltaics have historically occupied a niche market, they could be reaching an inflection point. New use cases, especially in BIPV and wireless electronics, coupled with technological breakthroughs like perovskite solar cells, are helping to reshape the landscape. As the global demand for clean energy accelerates, emerging solar technologies are likely to play a significant role in the future of green energy. ■
