The global solar powered drone market will reach a valuation of US$ 1,017 million in 2023 and expected to progress at a CAGR of 14.1% to reach US$ 3,803.4 million by the end of 2033.

The market for solar-powered drones is expanding as a result of the increased focus on using renewable energy sources. Drones are used for data collection, aerial photography, solar farming, mining, agricultural farming, and other applications. Undoubtedly, solar-powered UAVs have shown some interesting high altitude and long endurance qualities, but the current crop of solar powered UAVs are quite light and delicate, and they only have limited payloads.

Solar tree being developed by several manufacturers as due to the advancement in technology of drones. As a result, government have also started taking initiatives for the infrastructure development of solar trees. The solar powered drones can be widely used in different sectors for instance healthcare, commercials places, airports etc. the solar powered drones also reduce the cost of the operations and need less labour force to perform the operation.
