EV Solar Sunroof Market By Vehicle Type (Passenger Vehicles, Commercial Vehicles); By Solar Technology (Monocrystalline Solar Panels, Polycrystalline Solar Panels, Thin-Film Solar Panels); By End Use (Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Aftermarket); By Geography, Segment revenue estimation, Forecast, 2024–2032.

Published On: DEC-2024   |   Base Year: 2022   |   No Of Pages: 150   |   Historical Data: 2017-2021   |   Formats: PDF   |   Report ID: 97800393

The ev solar sunroof market was USD 1.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 3.1 billion, growing at a CAGR of 14.6%. The market growth is attributed to a growing demand for EVs, improvements in solar technology, and consumer inclination towards green automotive solutions.

 

Sola sunroof is an innovative feature installed on electric vehicles to utilize solar energy to charge the electrical systems or provide supplementary power to the EVs' driving range. These solar panels are built into lightweight photovoltaic (PV) systems uniquely suitable for automobiles. The adoption of solar sunroofs in EVs is increasing because people are shifting towards renewable energy sources, increasing the performance of EVs and environmental conservation.

 

Market Drivers

Increasing Adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs): New electric vehicles have created interest in solar-related improvements, such as sunroofing for solar energy, which provides additional range and fewer charging stations. The sales of EVs around the world stood at 10.6 million in 2023 from 6.8 million in 2022, as estimated by the IEA. Example: Last year, a top EV maker launched a high-end product with a solar roof, which can provide an extra 10 to 15 miles of range per day.

 

Emphasis on Renewable Energy Integration: The global administration and ordinary consumers are focusing on the use of renewable energy in mobility, thus enhancing the installation of solar kits on vehicles. Example: The European Union’s Green Deal target, launched recently as a status for the European Union towards climate neutrality by 2050, outlines inducement for solar-integrated EV technologies.

 

Technological Advancements in Photovoltaic (PV) Cells: Advancements in PV cell technology are also making solar sunroofs in EVs more effective through isotropic and lightweight forms of panels. Example: A Japanese solar technology firm unveiled a superior PV cell for EV solar sunroof applications in 2023, raising energy conversion ratios for hybrid electric vehicles by 25 percent.

 

Cost Reduction in Solar Panel Production: Emerging costs of PV materials and manufacturing processes have also contributed to the affordability of solar sunrooms and their integration into different EV segments. The costs of PV cells reduced by 15% between 2020 and 2023, rendering the integration of solar in EVs financially feasible.

 

Market Opportunities

Rising Demand for Autonomous Vehicles: AVs need effective power management, and solar sunroofs can deliver additional power to sensors, cameras, and other components of self-driving cars. Example: In 2023, an American autonomous vehicle development company collaborated with a solar technology company to incorporate solar sunroof systems into its fleet of prototypes to cut down on energy dependency on battery systems.

 

Growth in Emerging Markets: Asia-Pacific and Latin America remain the most attractive markets for EV solar sunroofs because of the ever-growing use of EVs supported by proper legislation. India's FAME scheme, Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles has increased interest in solar-assisted electrified vehicle technologies.

 

Expansion of Solar Charging Infrastructure: Solar charging stations can supplement solar sunroofs during development since they can be aligned to provide complete solutions for EVs. In 2022, a Scandinavian company began a pilot for a dipolar solar electric vehicle charging station using solar sunroofs for decentralization.

 

Market Restraints

High Initial Costs: While the costs of PV materials have reduced over time, the incorporation of a solar sunroof in EVs requires capital costs that are initially high, hence generally found in luxury vehicles.

 

Durability and Maintenance Challenges: Environmental factors, including Ultraviolet light and high temperature, decrease the life of PV panels and, therefore, require sophisticated coatings and cleaning.

Segment Analysis

Leading Vehicle Type: Passenger Vehicles

Lighting commercial vehicles will likely be the second largest market, generating 20% of the total revenue 2030. They are followed by heavy commercial vehicles, which are expected to contribute 15% in the same year due to the increasing adoption of solar power in personal mobility, like passenger cars and luxury electric vehicles. Example: A German automobile manufacturing firm began the production of a new EV model in 2023 with a solar sunroof as a marketing strategy to appeal to the conscience of prospective consumers.

 

Leading Solar Technology: Monocrystalline Solar Panels

Monocrystalline solar panels dominated the market, claiming 50% of the revenue in 2023 due to their high efficiency and elaborate slim designs apt for automotive integration. Example: In 2023, a South Korean solar manufacturer's monocrystalline panels significantly improved sunroof solar power efficiency in extreme weather conditions.

 

Regional Analysis

Europe is the biggest market, comprising 40% of the gross revenue in 2023 due to the region's strict environmental policies, the government's facilitation of EVs, and awareness of renewable energy products among consumers. Three countries, Germany, France, and Norway, made up 70% of the sunroof installed in European electric solar vehicles in 2023, which is a pointer to their appetite for clean energy mobility. Example: A Norwegian EV fleet company incorporated solar sunroof technology into its company in 2023 to cut operational costs and attain carbon neutrality objectives.

 

North America remains a prominent player within the market owing to high EV transactions, better advancements in solar technology, and state subsidy grants. Example: An electric vehicle startup company in the United States added solar sunroofs to its cars in 2023, enabling drivers to gain 20% extra range on sunny days.

 

The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing the most growth due to increased EV production, encouraging governmental stimuli, and growing customer interest in sustainable solutions. Example: In 2023, a Japanese automotive company produced a brand new solar sunroof-EV car for the Asian market, and then sold it by 15% compared with usual ones.
