概要

世界のソーラーカーの市場規模は、2024年の3億4,000万米ドルから、予測期間中はCAGR 43.15%で推移し、2032年には59億米ドルに達すると予測されています。

市場動向

市場における重要な動向の一つは、太陽光発電 (PV) パネルを電気自動車 (EV) の車体構造、例えば、ルーフ、ボンネット、ドアなどに直接組み込む動きが加速していることです。この動向は、EVの航続距離を延ばし、電力網への充電依存を減らし、脱炭素化を推進するという目的によって牽引されています。LightyearやSono Motorsといった先進企業はこの分野の最前線に立っており、車体にソーラーパネルを組み込んだ車両を開発・発売しています。これらの車両は、最適な日照条件下で1日に最大70~80kmの走行距離を追加できる能力を備えています。

この進歩により、持続可能なモビリティの未来が再構築されることが期待されます。特に、日照の多い地域では、太陽光の投入により充電頻度を大幅に減らし、オフグリッドでの操作性を高めることができます。この動向は、バッテリー技術、軽量素材、ソーラー効率の向上が進むにつれて勢いを増しています。

市場力学

持続可能な自動車に対する需要の高まり

自動車業界は現在、持続可能なソーラー輸送ソリューションへの大きな転換を遂げており、その背景には厳格な環境規制と高まる環境意識があります。EUは、2021年比で2030年までに新車 (乗用車) の平均CO2排出量を37.5%削減するという野心的な目標を掲げており、一方で米国環境保護庁 (EPA) のSAFE Vehicle Rule 規則は、2026年までに燃費基準を年1.5%ずつ引き上げることを義務付けています。こうした規制の枠組みは、自動車製造業者によるソーラーカーの開発加速の起爆剤となっています。

当レポートでは、世界のソーラーカーの市場を調査し、市場概要、市場成長への各種影響因子の分析、各種区分・地域/主要国別の詳細分析、主要企業のプロファイルなどをまとめています。

Global solar vehicle market reached US$0.34 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$5.9 billion by 2032, growing with a CAGR of 43.15% during the forecast period 2025-2032.

Solar vehicles are fitted with photovoltaic cells, which are put in the solar panels and are responsible for converting solar energy to electrical energy, which is stored directly in the vehicle's battery. The solar panels are composed of silicon, which absorbs heat and converts it into electrical energy. The rising use of cutting-edge vehicle technology has increased demand for solar vehicles, resulting in the global expansion of the solar vehicle market.

Solar Vehicle Market Trend

A key trend in the market is the increasing integration of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels directly into electric vehicle (EV) body structures, such as rooftops, hoods and doors. This trend is driven by the push to extend EV driving range, reduce dependency on grid charging and support decarbonization efforts. Leading companies like Lightyear and Sono Motors are at the forefront of this innovation, launching vehicles with solar-integrated body panels capable of adding up to 70-80 km of range per day under optimal sunlight conditions.

This advancement is expected to reshape the future of sustainable mobility, especially in sunny regions where solar input can significantly reduce charging frequency and enhance off-grid operability. The trend is gaining momentum as battery technology, lightweight materials and solar efficiency continue to improve.

Dynamics

Rising Demand for Sustainable Vehicles

The automobile sector is undergoing a dramatic change toward sustainable solar transportation solutions, led by rigorous environmental legislation and rising environmental consciousness. The European Union has set ambitious targets aiming to reduce average CO2 emissions from new passenger cars by 37.5% by 2030 compared to 2021 levels, while the US EPA's SAFE Vehicle Rule mandates a 1.5% annual increase in fuel efficiency standards through 2026. The regulatory frameworks have catalyzed automotive manufacturers to accelerate their development of solar vehicles.

Many companies are making major advances in solar automotive technology development to fulfill the growing demand for environmentally friendly transportation. Toyota and EneCoat Technologies announced a strategic agreement in July 2023 to develop perovskite solar cells for vehicle-integrated photovoltaics, taking advantage of EneCoat's excellent 19.4% module conversion efficiency. The technological breakthroughs highlight the industry's commitment to producing viable and efficient solar-powered transportation options.

High Initial Costs and Limited Energy Conversion Efficiency

One of the primary restraints in the global solar vehicle market is the high initial cost associated with integrating solar panels into vehicles, along with the limited energy conversion efficiency of current photovoltaic technologies. Solar panels add to the overall manufacturing costs due to the need for specialized materials, lightweight design adaptations and complex integration processes. As a result, solar vehicles are often priced significantly higher than conventional EVs or ICE vehicles, making mass-market penetration challenging.

Additionally, solar panels can typically generate only a small portion of the total energy required for daily driving, especially in regions with low sunlight or during cloudy seasons. This limited contribution means solar energy alone cannot fully replace traditional or plug-in charging, reducing the perceived value for many consumers. Until technological advancements improve solar panel efficiency and bring down production costs, the market's growth will remain restricted to niche segments and eco-conscious early adopters.

Segment Analysis

The global solar vehicle market is segmented based on vehicle type, electric vehicle type, battery, solar panel, application and region.

Superior Efficiency and Space Optimization Drives Monocrystalline Growth

A key driver for the global monocrystalline solar panel market is their high energy conversion efficiency, which makes them ideal for both residential and commercial applications where space is limited. Monocrystalline panels typically offer efficiency rates between 18% and 23%, outperforming polycrystalline and thin-film alternatives. This higher efficiency means users can generate more power from a smaller surface area, a crucial factor in urban environments and for rooftop installations.

For instance, leading manufacturers such as LONGi Green Energy and SunPower have introduced next-gen monocrystalline panels with improved performance in low-light conditions and higher temperature tolerance, making them suitable across diverse geographies. Moreover, utility-scale solar farms are increasingly opting for monocrystalline panels due to their long lifespan and higher return on investment (ROI).

Geographical Penetration

Expanding Electric Vehicle Infrastructure in North America

North America solar vehicle market is gaining strong momentum, driven by a combination of rapid expansion in EV infrastructure, growing environmental awareness and supportive government policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions. The region, particularly the US and Canada, is witnessing increased investments in clean mobility solutions, with solar-integrated vehicles emerging as a promising innovation. Federal and state-level initiatives, such as tax incentives for solar-powered and zero-emission vehicles, are encouraging both manufacturers and consumers to explore solar vehicle options.

Furthermore, the rise in off-grid living trends and the demand for sustainable alternatives in commercial and recreational vehicles are pushing automakers to adopt solar-integrated features, especially for last-mile delivery fleets, RVs and passenger EVs. Companies like Aptera Motors in California are already advancing the market with ultra-efficient, solar-powered electric vehicles designed for extended range and reduced dependency on traditional charging. This combination of environmental policy, technological advancement and lifestyle shifts positions North America as a growing hub for solar vehicle adoption.

Sustainability Analysis

The global solar vehicle market presents a highly sustainable alternative to conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and even traditional electric vehicles (EVs) by leveraging renewable solar energy to power mobility, thereby significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Solar vehicles contribute to net-zero goals by minimizing reliance on grid-based electricity, especially when that grid is still partially powered by non-renewable sources.

In addition, the life-cycle sustainability of solar vehicles is improving due to advancements in solar panel recycling, lightweight composite materials and modular vehicle design, which enhance recyclability and reduce the carbon footprint of manufacturing. For example, companies like Sono Motors emphasize the use of recycled and biodegradable materials in their solar EV designs, while Lightyear is exploring supply chain decarbonization strategies.

Competitive Landscape
