Solar Photovoltaic System Industry 2020

 At the beginning of 2020, COVID-19 disease began to spread around the world, millions of people worldwide were infected with COVID-19 disease, and major countries around the world have implemented foot prohibitions and work stoppage orders. Except for the medical supplies and life support products industries, most industries have been greatly impacted, and Solar Photovoltaic System industries have also been greatly affected.

Photovoltaic installation requires a spectrum of skilled workers, ranging from Ph.D. level scholars in R&D to technicians requiring specialized training and certification to a wide variety of other professionals for supporting all aspects of the PV industry. The industry does not have enough trained installers to handle the implementation of this technology. The availability of appropriately skilled manpower has been one of the most prominent challenges in the PV arena. On the other hand, end-users of the technology demand acknowledged standards, quality assurance, and skills certification during the entire development phase of a PV installation.

Solar or PV systems for utilities applications require large areas of land. Some estimates show that the land requirements for utility-scale PV systems are in the range of 5 acres per megawatt (depending upon the technology and availability of sunlight), which indicates a hike in the requirement for serviceable land in the coming years. This might evoke concerns regarding land degradation and habitat loss in some locations. Unlike wind power, there is a minimal possibility for solar projects to share land for agricultural uses. Acquisition of operational land is a major challenge, especially in developing countries like India and China—major markets for PV.
