The global solar power market size was valued at USD 253.69 billion in 2023 and is projected to be worth USD 273 billion in 2024 and reach USD 436.36 billion by 2032*. We’ll look at the use of Lean and Six Sigma in various solar energy firms and finish with a video of how solar panels are made.
Achieving Sustainability in Turkish Solar Energy Firms Through Lean Principles
In a study titled “Achieving Sustainability in Solar Energy Firms in Turkey through Adopting Lean Principles” authors Bilal Aldewachi and Zeki Ayağ discuss building a framework for solar energy firms to achieve sustainability through adopting Lean principles.
The authors create a questionnaire and formulate various hypotheses to address sustainability.
“The findings of the study showed a high level of agreement from the point of view of the responsible people on solar firms towards all the factors of lean and sustainability in the study, which means there is a high level of awareness about the importance of these factors and incorporation of them in the processes of solar firms.”

Standardizing Required Paperwork for Solar Installations Through the Use of Lean and Six Sigma
In a short article titled “Can We Standardize Solar Paperwork?” Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI ) and Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) discuss plans to use Lean and Six Sigma process strategies to analyze U.S. and German system processes and make recommendations in order to reduce the amount of required paperwork.

Optimizing Production Flow In The Production Process of Photovoltaic Solar Modules
In a master’s thesis titled “Optimization of Production Flow at Eco Supplies Solar AB” author Michelle Maria Jose discusses a study done for Eco Supplies Solar AB to help identify wastes in their value stream process.
“The main aim of the thesis was to analyze the current plant layout and the product process and
develop a methodology to identify visualize and measure the wastes in the production process of
Photovoltaic solar modules.”
The thesis includes:
- Current State Value Stream Map: Calculations and Results
- Future State Value Stream Map: Calculations and Results
