As global climate change and environmental degradation intensify, clean energy, particularly solar energy, has become an increasingly important focus. In this context, the production and application of solar PV panels show immense market potential. For solar panel manufacturers, the demand for solar panel labels and barcodes is becoming increasingly evident to ensure product quality and traceability. Leveraging its expertise and extensive experience in barcode and label printing, iDPRT has delivered reliable solar panel label printing solutions for the solar industry.
Current State of the Solar Panel Market
Solar PV panels are widely used around the world due to their versatility and flexibility. These applications range from large-scale solar farms to power supply in remote areas, as well as integrated power systems and building materials. According to data from Grand View Research, the global solar panel market reached an astonishing $157.75 billion in 2022 and is expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2023 to 2030. China has become the worldwide largest producer of photovoltaic products, accounting for over 75% of the global market, mainly exporting to Europe and Asia.
Solar Panel Barcode and Label Requirements
In the photovoltaic manufacturing industry, solar pv labels usually contain the brand logo, product serial number, barcode or QR code, and key parameters like rated voltage and current. Additionally, solar system labels also include various certification marks and warning languages. The labels serve several purposes:
1. Quality Traceability and Control
The barcode on the solar panel label is central to product management, allowing manufacturers to accurately track production batch and quality status of each panel.
2. User Information Transparency
Detailed photovoltaic labels also enable users to quickly understand the performance characteristics and usage instructions of solar panel.
3. Safety and Environmental Compliance
Label information also ensures that the solar panel meets various safety and environmental standards, such as CE certification marks and "APPLICATION CLASS A," which describes the safety level of photovoltaic (PV) modules.
