Abstract

This study purposes to discuss the mechanisms of innovation in the solar power industry. It reveals the innovation criteria adopted by the solar power enterprises. To identify the innovation criteria in the PV industry, this paper uses a quantitative method based on a technical evaluation of four PV technologies. Then, it assesses the obtained results qualitatively. This research work demonstrates that the PV industry is highly influenced by innovation. It also concludes that the innovation of the photovoltaic panels is based on two major criteria: structure and function. The former comprises the interior and exterior components, their measures, weight, raw materials, and layering. The latter involves the PV panel’s applicability, efficiency and durability. This paper shows that the standard version of a PV rigid panel witnessed innovative modifications with an average of 14.06% on its structure and 15.62% on its function.
